The design differences between brands of crochet hooks can effect the finished crochet project. I find that Susan Bates brand hooks have a deeper recess in the hook portion itself which allows for tighter stitches, especially when working on Amigurumi projects. When using Boye brand, I find that the yarn slips from the hook more easily, which isn’t always desirable for tight stitches. For me, Susan Bates brand hooks are better for more delicate stitches.

Top picture: The fuchsia and blue hooks are both size 5mm, but the Boye brand hook makes larger stitches.

Sorry for the blurry pictures, my camera is not playing nicely today.

Also, letter sizing is not uniform across hook brands. I would never suggest picking up a new hook to finish a WIP unless you knew the mm size.

I don’t have much experience with Susan Bates hooks, but what little I have was extremely frustrating. I found that sharp edges of the hook regularly split my yarn. Has anyone else had that problem?

I also had that problem. My first aluminum hook was Bates, and I really hated it. I’ve used Boye ever since. Then again, it’s probably just whatever you get used to using.

Look, the world’s smallest bath mat.

Edit: I have had at least two people say it looks like an eyeball. Now I hate it even more.
