Etimo Crochet Hook, Size 8/5.00mm

I’m a big fan of crocheting amigurumi, which requires typically nice and tight stitches. The normal aluminum crochet hooks would eventually start hurting my hands, pressing deep into my fingers because of how tight you have to pull the yarn. After looking online and reading user reviews, I decided to invest in the original Etimo hook. I completely fell in love after seeing that I could crochet much faster, longer, with less pain and still yield the same tight stitches. Unfortunately mister kitty got ahold of my 5.0 and used it as a chew toy. Browsing Amazon, I saw they had these in red! How gorgeous! It’s beautiful and works exactly the same as my original. I’m completely in love with my hook and couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

This is the most comfortable hook I have ever used. You will love it.

Comfort

This hook has ruined all other hooks for me. It glides so easy, going back to your old hooks will be impossible.

The crochet hook is just not long enough, its feels great but it way too short for me to comfortably crochet and benefit from this ergonomic style. For me, my hand, only has about 3 1/2 inch grip, I need for the crochet hook to extend past my closed palm.

Lightweight hook, for those that use the knife method of crochet, the lettering on the shank will rub your hand and eventually irritate it. A bad design flaw and for that reason only 1 star is given.

Tulip Etimo hooks are my very favorite hooks. They are very comfortable in the hand and the yarn glides on them smoothly. If you prefer an inline crochet hook, try these. Yes, theyre expensive but in my opinion theyre worth it.

Very comfortable in my hand. This is my favorite crochet hook.

Works very well, similar to Clover Amour. I like that they have the larger hooks in all metal tho.

Nothing to dislike.
