Pony 4.5 mm 13 cm Aluminium Crochet Hook with Soft Handle - 59810

FINALLY! A hook for “knife” hold crochet enthusiasts! This is THE BEST & MOST UNIQUE hook available! Switching up the hold of the hook is best to avoid hand strain. “Pencil” hold is fine, but I learned and always return to the “knife” hold. This hook settles PERFECTLY into the pod of the palm. The taper of the handle allows the fingers to close comfortably AND stay in a relaxed position. The overall length of the hook allows the finger to still reach the stitch to hold tension. !ExtraLarge hands *might* have an issue and need a longer hook. The “useful” end of the hook is super smooth and glides over a wide variety of yarns without snagging or splitting. It is strong and well connected to the handle. The tip of the hook is more pointed than rounded. This is a choice in design based on how people crochet. RECOMMENDATIONS to Hobium: keep more in stock and put this in the forefront for searches of “ergonomic hook” or even “Pony”. RECOMMENDATIONS to Pony: #1 Marketing! More people need to know about this unique hook. Keep it without changes because it’s great. Having said that: #2 make a longer (maybe a 15cm) hook for larger hands. I have small hands, but I can see some might be hesitant to try the hook because they might think it’s too small. #3 make a second line with a more rounded tip of the hook. Some think a sharp tip might split the yarn, or feel the hook glides more smoothly with a rounded hook. I’ve used my hooks for a couple of years of daily crocheting and they are solid and durable. My hands adore these hooks!

I shouldn't feel the presence of the needle in my hand. It's like I'm the prey :(
