Susan Bates Silvalume Soft Ergonomic Crochet Hook Set - Sizes L11/8mm, M13/9mm, and N15/10mm

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.

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

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.

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.

I love the soft comfortable handle. I have arthritis in my hands which the soft handle makes it easier to use!! I love crocheting and want to be able to continue doing it. The (not sure what it's called). The steel part with the hook on it, is longer than most hooks which also makes the work go so much easier!!! Thank you so much!! I'm gradually going to replace ALL my older hooks!!!!

Love love love these hooks! Excellent quality, work well with all fibers and my old arthritic hands have no problem with them.

The only reason I did not give these a 5 was the handles. This would be much more comfortable without the black foam grip as it adds too much length. The hook itself is great and much smoother to crochet with than the Boye which I had on hand.

I have not had a chance to use them yet. I love the feel of them, and the protection of not having metal pressed against my hand. The colors and the assortment are nice as well.
