What Is Your Favorite Crochet Hook? | Posh Pooch Design

What are all those styles of Crochet Hooks for?

And does what the Crochet hook

 is made out of matter?

Will it make a difference in my project?
There are so many styles and types,
 I just do not know what to get?

(this is just a tiny amount of the crochet hooks I own!)

See This Video on my Youtube Channel at This LINK

One of the big Questions is, 

"Which do you prefer, 

Bates or Boye Crochet Hooks?"

These 2 hooks are both N-15 US/10.0 mm

For comparison.

You can see they are definitely different.

Here is a picture I made to show you the

Anatomy of a Crochet Hook.

Basic Types Crochet Hooks

Aluminum Hooks -   These hooks are the most popular hooks.

 They are available in all sizes.

 They are smooth to work with and last forever.

Bamboo Hooks – These hooks are lightweight.

 They are available in all the average sizes, but not in the smallest

 and jumbo sizes. They are not as durable as aluminum hooks.

Plastic Hooks – These hooks are available in all the common sizes,

 as well as jumbo hooks.

They are very large and are usually made of hollow plastic, 

because it is lightweight. They are not as durable as the Aluminum hooks, 

and are a great choice for beginners.

Steel Hooks – These hooks are for the smallest sizes. 

They are mainly used when crocheting fine thread.

 Although these are very tiny hooks, they are a very durable.

 In addition, they have a smooth flow.

Tunisian Hooks – These hooks are longer than regular hook and have

 a stopper on the end, similar to a knitting needle.  

Tunisian crochet is also called afghan crochet, and the fabric looks

 different from normal crochet, and a little like knitting.

Some Tunisian hooks will have a cord attached, 

with the stopper on the end of the cord.

This is for large projects like blankets.

Cro-Hook – These hooks are long, with a hook on both ends. 

It is a sturdy hook. It is considered a Tunisian hook, 

And used with the Tunisian style crochet.

There are a lot of different brands with 

different types of handles. 

I hope this blog gives you a better 

understanding of Crochet Hooks.

 But it really boils down to what type and Style

 of crochet hook you prefer.

So, Which one is your Favorite?

Basic Tools For Leaning to Crochet | Posh Pooch Designs

I get this Question on a weekly basis, 

"What tools do I need to learn to Crochet?"

It can be very expensive if you purchase all the

 "things" you think you need.

But really you only need a few tools.

There are only 6 tools that you will need, 

When learning to Crochet

Video Chat - What tools you need to learn to Crochet

See This Video on my Youtube Channel at this LINK

1. Crochet Hooks - 

There are a lot of different types and sizes of 

Crochet Hooks.

I think when you first start, just pic up a few sizes of inexpensive hooks to see if you will like them.

Then you can try different kinds as you feel 

more confident.

2. Tape Measure:

 Some type of measuring tape or ruler to help you

 measure your items. This will help you with sizing and 
gauge.

3. Stitch Markers:

Stitch markers are a great help in marking corners, 
rows and such. There are several types. 
Some are plastic, some are metal,

and some are decorative. 

4. Yarn Needles:

You will need a Yarn Needle or Tapestry Needle 

for weaving in your ends, and sewing pieces together, 

and sewing on buttons.

There are several sizes, use one that fits the yarn 

you are using.

You will find them made of metal or plastic. 

5. Scissors:

You will Always want a pair of scissors with you.

You never know when you will need to cut out a knot.

You do not have to get an expensive pair. 

I like to buy a few pairs of child's school scissors 

when they are on sale in the Fall.

6. Yarn:

You definitely need Yarn! I suggest when you are

 first starting to purchase some inexpensive yarn 

and practice your stitches. Then when you feel more

 confident, splurge on some expensive yarn.

I hope this has answered your Question.

Product Review - 4 in 1 Crochet Tool | Posh Pooch Designs

Today's Blog is a Product Review of

 The 4 in 1 Crochet Tool by Boye

I have heard a lot of buzz about this new Crochet Tool,

 But could not find one anywhere?

I was going crazy wanting to get my hands on one.

I do not go to Wal-mart very often, and decided to

 give it a try after hearing they might have them.

(I am just not a fan of Wal-marts anymore, 

story is to long to tell).

I found both the 4 in 1 Crochet Tools, the yarn 

I needed and the measuring tape tape.

Happy Camper!

Now to try out those Crochet Tools.

So I really love the style, 4 different hooks on one tool.

It folds up like an army knife. I can take this on a plane,

 in a car or anywhere I want to take my crochet bag, 

which is everywhere!

I did have trouble locating where the hook size was indicated.

It is on the grey area where the hook folds in.

It is very tiny and difficult to read.

Tool 1 has D, F, H, J

and

 Tool 2 has E, G, I,,K 

I wondered if the hook would stay put as I crocheted.

And it did. it stayed up and worked just fine.

And they have the Boye Style hook that I like best.

I worked up a new design for a Cowl, and as I crocheted,

 the hook was great, but the handle was quite bulky.

I did find the tool to be little big for my hand. 

I have short fingers.

I had to hold the end different then I am used to, 

and it took some time getting used to it.

My thumb kept slipping into the indention, 

which made it feel a little awkward,

but again I have short fingers.

I do not think I will use these for everyday use,

I Love my Clover hooks the best,

 But these are a great tool for travel, 

or just to have in your project bag.

It is a great tool to have around,

for travel and such, and I will definitely

 put these in my travel and project bags.

When I do a product review, it is my own opinion.

And I am not paid for my opinion.
