I love the quality of these handles! The grip with the padding and the ease of the smooth hooks makes it easy to crochet for long periods of time. I was specifically looking for US sizes in a set of 12 and these are the only ones on Amazon. All the others are offered in metric sizes and most sizes call for letter sized so this was an all around win win buy for me! You never disappoint, Athena's Elements!
I love these crochet hooks. I like the rubber ergonomic handles. I have arthritis and it helps to hold and work comfortably. I especially like that it includes the letters and not just the MM hook size. I highly recommend these hooks and like them so much I have ordered a set to use when I travel in our RV and will order them as a gift for the girl I am teaching crochet.
These hooks are a must have for anyone who loves to crochet. They fit very comfortably in your hand and the long throat gives plenty of working space for stitches. In addition to the metric size, each hook has the U.S. alpha & numeric size. I have tried many different types of hooks, some less expensive and some much more costly, but none compare to this set from Athena's Elements in terms of value and quality for the price paid. Since I crochet every day, often for extended periods of time, it is essential that any hook I use is extremely comfortable, which these are. If you like Clover Amour, or other soft handled hooks, you will love these hooks from Athena's Elements.
I am using an Athena's Element hook size F5 - 3.75 mm with a worsted weight cotton yarn that recommends a 5.5 mm hook and my hand is not tired or sore which it would be with other hooks.
These were exactly what my wife was looking for. They are just a little bit longer than normal which I understand is greatly helpful. Having both the letter size and the metric size is also helpful for her. Being able to support a Navy wife's business made this Navy Dad even more happy to buy from Athena's Elements.
I bought these hooks because I had carpal tunnel surgery in both of my hands 21 years ago, I liked the fact that I was purchasing from a military mom owned company and that the hooks were clearly marked and color coded with the sizes; the price is quite reasonable for crochet hooks of good quality. However, the crochet hook throat on the larger hooks, sizes I - L is much shorter than that of the smaller sizes. Over all they are shorter than the Boye hooks, and despite the increased width of the grip the place where my grip is comfortable makes them awkward to hold. They are a bit difficult for me to work with because of this, most likely because I have such large hands for a woman. Which means, unfortunately, any of the gentlemen crocheters out there who may be looking at these hooks because of the nicely marked and color coded handles might want to stick with what they learned on. On that note I don't wish to discourage anyone from purchasing these hooks, they are very nice and I haven't seen a size 7 hook in years.
Pros: Reasonable price, the hooks are color coded with the sizes clearly marked and a good range of sizes.
Cons: Short throat on sizes I - L and over all shorter than Boye hooks.

- LONGER SHAFT & SMOOTH HOOKS: Larger sizes hooks are longer than the smaller sizes, it's shaft or needle is 2 inches for the larger hooks and 1.75 inch for the smaller sizes which we strategically designed because bigger sizes hooks uses bulky yarns, and smaller hooks uses thin yarns. Thus it gives yarn extra space when the pattern calls for more than 3 loops. SMOOTH HOOKS allow yarns to glide easily and effortlessly and avoid snagging or splitting the yarns making crocheting a breeze.
- FROM A CUSTOMER: My wife has crocheted for years but she had a couple of strokes a few years ago and could not get her hands to co-operate and it broke my heart to watch her try. She recently picked it back up but was still having a hard time with the regular hooks. I gave her the new hooks today and her eyes lit up. She was like a kid with a new toy. She loves them and they feel good in her hands. Seeing her like that brought a tear to this old man's eye. Thank you so much.

These are the best rubber gripped hooks on Amazon! I had previously ordered a different set from another company and they ended up hurting my thumb and had to see a Doctor. These are AWESOME and the only ones I recommend for arthritic hands.
These crochet hooks looked kind of cute in the picture and at such an incredibly good price, I decided what the hey. I'll buy the set. Even if I only use then occasionally to pick dropped knitting stitches, they're a good price and I can stash an assortment of sizes in each of my project bags.
Well. My goodness! When they arrived (faster than I expected) I was beyond charmed. They are positively yummy! The handles have a little give to them to make them comfortable to hold but are still quite firm. The texture of the handle could be described as "grippy," almost like a silicone kitchen utensil that's been buffed. The handles will not slip out of your hands like a plastic hook might and they're warm to hold, unlike a metal hook. I haven't crocheted since I was a child, but now that I have this set I am inspired to return to the craft. These hooks are too nice to sit in the bottom of a bag waiting for this knitter to goof.
Perhaps best of all is that, by purchasing this set, you are supporting a military family-run business with a focus on just a few extremely high quality yet incredibly affordable products for crafters. It's clear the seller cares deeply about her products and her customers. You simply can't go wrong with this lovely set of crochet hooks from Athena's Elements. Treat yourself!
First off Thank you for providing an awesome Ergonomic Crochet Hook kit. It arrived safely as promised and I have been busy crocheting a baby blanket for my expected Great-Grandchild to arrive. I cannot say enough about the great quality of the crochet hook. It is light, easy to hold, and my hand and fingers do not tire as easily as with standard crochet hooks. This is an amazing boost for people like me with arthritis and aging hands. I cannot thank you enough and I love the fact that this kit has a wide arrangement of sizes from B to L. The length of the crochet hook makes it easy to work with large bulky yarn and the soft handles are such a comfort to wrap my hand around as I work with the crochet hook.
I applaud you for your wonderfull family-owned business and I thank your husband for his military service to our country.
I will without question recommend your business to others and I look forward to ordering from you again in the future.
This set of crochet hooks is some such an amazing deal. The hook handles are a great size and have a nice grip to them. I have had other ergonomic crochet hook be too large to hold, but these have range from the size a standard pen to the size of a large marker making them so easy to use.
I have been using these for several months now with various yarns and weights, including Scheepjes, Lionbrand, Paintbox, and Michaels store brand yarn. My only complaint was that a couple of the hooks had some very small areas of welding that would sometimes catch the yarn. It wasn’t enough that it caused visible issues but was more of a nuisance. I was able to take a metal file and smooth the inside of the hook. Since this only happened with 2 hooks out of the set and was easily remedied, I will still consider these a great purchase and would highly recommend.
I've been crocheting for many years. I've always used the plain metal hooks, but as I've gotten older I've found my hands get cramped up after a while and my wrists start to hurt. I recently found I did not have a size B hook I needed for a project and decided to get an ergonomic handled one, as the smaller the hook, the more my hands cramp. As I researched, I discovered I could get a whole set for the price of about three hooks purchased individually. After more research I decided on this set. I like everything about the hooks. The handles are grippy and have a little give to them. I love the bright colors and how the sizes are molded into the handles. The three hooks I have tried have worked smoothly. The company reached out to make sure I was happy with my purchase. My only complaint (not really a complaint, more a wish) is that I would have liked to buy this set with a nice case to hold them, but Athena's set like that does not have the two smallest hooks.
