CJ BATES & SONS Sizes L11/8mm, M13/9mm, and N15/10mm Susan Bates Silvalume Soft Ergonomic Crochet Hook Set

Nice sturdy hooks that are comfortable and good for making baskets. I recently started crocheting baskets using multiple strands of yarn (5-7) in an effort to make them a little more rigid, but trying to crochet tightly requires a little more muscle than standard crochet. The cushioned, thicker grips give me a better grasp and more leverage to muscle through some of the tighter stitches. I prefer Susan Bates in-line style hooks so these were a big win for me at a reasonable cost.

These are my favorite crochet hooks! Not only do they hold in the hand well, but the shape of the hook helps prevent snagging, which helps with increasing your speed.

Love these hooks! They feel good in hand and do a good job, price was also good!

Comfortable to use!

My favorite crochet hooks! Well designed to make my projects easier to achieve!

I love the pointed end of the hook. They used to be at Joann's and they were my favorite. Now that Joann's is gone, I am glad you can still find them.

Susan Bates is my favorite brand of crochet hooks, especially with the ergonomic handle for a better grip and comfort. I already have a set of these sizes without the grips but once I saw these I couldn't resist. The thicker handle provides more comfort, especially for larger projects. The tips of these hooks are great because they're slightly more pointed compared to other brands; this feature helps get into loops easier. I find I can crochet with more ease and speed with these hooks.

Compared to hooks without it, the grip makes crocheting significantly more comfortable.
