Aluminum Crochet Hook Set, Sizes G-I

My mother uses them all the time. She likes them and said very good price

Perfect. Gave as a gift . She is very pleased.

Love Boye hooks! Have been using them for so many years. The variety of sizes is great for the coat. The metal design is comfortable for my hands and that makes them easy to use.

I only needed a size E. Well, I thought I did - turns out I really needed the D. Anyway, at the time I bought these, they were $3.99 and same day delivery, so now I have 8 more hooks! (They are $10.76 today, which is still pretty good. And same day shipping. Woo hoo!) Most of my hooks are the Boye brand, and I love them. They are light and sturdy and smooth. I have some plastic ones because right after 9/11, it was hard to get metal sticks on airplanes ("Thirty Dead on Flight after Crochet Hook Wielding Madman Freaks Out over Number of Pretzels in Bag!!") Plastic is horrible and almost never completely smooth. (Don't argue with me about this - I've had bad experiences!) I've never had a problem with Boye, and after crocheting an afghan 4'x5', I still haven't had a problem. So, if you think you might need a hook or two that are in the D-K range, plop this in your cart. Check it every once in a while to see if the price goes down, and snag it when it does. (My local craft stores sell this set in the $10-12 range, and if you get their coupons, you can usually get it for less.)

I have used Boye Crochet Hooks for 50 years. It was the brand of hook I used when I first learned to crochet and, in my opinion, they are the easiest to use. They are consistently smooth and allow the yarn to slide gently over the surface. I rarely have trouble with yarn splitting and I have never had a hook snag the yarn or work. This set includes the sizes used most often. I purchased it as a gift for my granddaughter when she was interested in learning to crochet. I wanted her to have everything she needed to enjoy a new lifelong hobby.

If you're looking to replace some Boye hooks you owned before, I would say be sure you know what you're getting with the D-K set on this page. When I bought this set previously, the D hook was measured and printed with the size of 3.25mm, like it is everywhere. Now, maybe Boye always sold D hooks at the size that is listed now--3 point ONE TWO FIVE mm--and they're just now letting the consumer know; or maybe they actually changed the size of their D hooks to 3.125mm. Either way, it was downright disconcerting to reorder the same set I ordered before, only to discover that three hook sizes have "changed": D - from 3.25mm to 3.125mm; I - from 5.5mm to 5.25mm; and J - from 6mm to 5.75mm. Are all D, I, and J hooks really this size and we just thought they were 3.25mm, 5.5mm, and 6mm respectively? I don't know. But I just thought I should give people a heads up in case others might be unpleasantly surprised and a little bit confused by this change. You'd still do the same things you always do to get gauge for a pattern you're working, the size "changes" are negligible, and the hooks work fine. So it's not a big deal, just a little odd, I think.

it was exactly what I wanted and was looking for! I found the process of ordering and shipping to be easy, and it came without delay, in perfect condition.

These hooks give great stitch definition. They are my durable, reliable, everyday go to hooks These are the ones I take everywhere. I have an expensive set of hooks but, I'd never let them leave the house.

Tienen medidas intermedias se teje muy bien con estos ganchos

Item arrived today and it has helped me get the result I need,the only negative was that one of the hooks had a tiny bend in it which seems to be a manufacturing fault (was quickly sorted by pushing the hook the other way)as the item was very well packaged by amazon

Non ancora provati ma mi sembrano eccellenti: Curiose le misure non comuni ai soliti set di uncinetto. Lo consiglio vivamente

編みやすいし、ちょっとしたアフガン編みも出来るので買って良かったです。

These are great, smooth, glide through the wool easily, no snags or dragging. Can crochet quickly if you add a cushion for each hook like I do. My favourite cushion is the Susan Bates striped ones. They make a very comfortable ergonomic hook combination for an enjoyable experience for extended hours of crochet! This hook set is an economic good quality set to actually enjoy the art. Note....the new hook sizes are off by .25. So you aren't getting the advertised ones. But you can make a swatch and adjust your hook size to fit your pattern, just google it, or Pinterest it, etc. These are very good quality for the price. Metal hooks glide better though the wool, faster and can take a lot of tough pressure of the toy making. I have used these type with a cushion for 20 years. I had tried some new ergonomic hooks for a few years, but am now coming back to this style because the ergonomic ones hurt my hands. I have tried three types of the very expensive hooks and they all hurt my hands. You won't be disappointed in these, they are a great beginner set, most of what you would need to fill out a complete set. The rest of the hooks that are missing are more speacialized sizes. You can buy as needed for specific projects, or adjust hook with your pattern. Thank you.
