Review on ๐Ÿงถ Boye 6226 3-Piece Aluminum Crochet Bonus Hook Set: H-8 to J-10 Sizes for Ultimate Crafting Flexibility by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Oldies But Goodies

Boye makes my favorite needles. You can't go wrong here. If you are new to crocheting and are wondering what is the difference between these aluminum hooks and Susan Bates aluminum hooks: Boye hooks have a narrow neck, which means they taper just before the head of the hook, while Susan Bates have a straight neck , just. up and down from the hook to the end. Boye hooks are rounded at the top, while Susan Bates hooks are slightly tapered at the top. Boye is a pioneer among the hooks. They were used by our great-grandmothers. There are a lot of "ergonomic" thick-handled crochet hooks out there these days, but for fine thread work like shawls and other lace items I prefer really thin old-fashioned aluminum crochet hooks.

Pros
  • Perfect for beginners
Cons
  • boring packaging
