The Best Ergonomic Crochet Hooks via @easycrochetcom

When you have arthritis or sore hands the soft larger grips of ergonomic crochet hooks are just what you need. Scroll on down to see some of the best crochet hooks for arthritis and learn a bit about each kind of hook.

Ergonomic crochet hook brands and sets

What is an Ergonomic Crochet Hook?

Ergonomic is relating to the design of something which makes it comfortable and effective for people who use it. When you apply this to a crochet hook it means that you want to have a hook that will help your hand get in the best possible position.

Ergonomic hooks usually have soft handles, bigger grips and are easier to hold. You will want to avoid plain metal hooks without any rubber or outer shell on the handle since they can be hard to hold with sore hands. You can instantly feel the difference when you are holding an ergonomic hook vs an aluminum crochet hook.

The Benefits of using Ergonomic Crochet Hooks

  • Better tension & gauge
  • Less achy hands
  • Comfortable grip
  • Can crochet longer without breaks

When you are crocheting with arthritis, tendinitis or any other hand injury you want to make sure you are taking the best possible care of your hands. It is important to use a crochet hook that will help minimize pains and aches and that is where ergonomic crochet hooks can help.

What are the Best Ergonomic Crochet Hooks?

The best ergonomic crochet hooks are the ones that work for you the best! If the hooks are comfortable to hold, making crocheting easier and feel right then they are the best! After years of crocheting and getting a bit older my hands thanked me when I started using my Tulip Crochet Hook set. After you look at the list below hopefully you find your new favorite hook set too.

The best part of this tulip crochet hook set is the grip. You will love how comfortable these hooks are to crochet with and how your hand won’t get tired.

Clover Amour Crochet Hooks Set

An Armour Crochet Hook set is a great investment in your hands. They have comfortable grip handles and are easy to hold for long periods of time.

The price on these can also be high like the Tulips, but they are of great quality and are my second favorite ergonomic hook set I recommend. I love them so much I have two sets of these for on the go crocheting and at home crocheting.

  • Furls Crochet Hooks
  • Susan Bates Ergonomic Hooks

There are many options to pick from when choosing a comfortable crochet hook and I hope these I listed helped you out a bit in your decision. In your searching you will find that there are many hooks listed as ergonomic that are wood and other materials, but I prefer crochet hooks with a rubber grip. If you find you a wood hook over the ones I named above then go for it. 🙂

Like I noted my hands thanked me when I switch to an ergonomic hooks set. I have less achy hands and fingers, and I can crochet for longer periods of times with better tension. I can now crochet blankets and other bigger projects without pain!
