Boye hooks are my preference for crocheting because of the taper on the heads. They aren't an inline hook, which means the hook size is slightly bigger than the shaft size. The heads have a nice taper that slips easily into stitches.

The aluminum hooks are sized for worsted weight yarn, and the sizes are accurate and fit the sizing used by other companies. G is a standard for a lot of older crochet projects and patterns. I is the thickest, and works well for slightly more open work and for working with cotton yarns which don't compact the same way wools and acrylics do.

The steel hooks are not sized conventionally, so you may have to switch sizes if you're working a pattern that needs a consistent gauge. They are just a fraction of a mm off on the bigger side, such as a size 5 Boye hook is 1.9 mm, the same hook by Susan Bates is 1.7 mm.

If you prefer inline hooks, Susan Bates hook will be a better choice for you.

My only issue with Boye hooks is that the handles can be wearying for extended times crocheting because they are so slender. There are several methods that people use for making the shaft thick enough to be comfortable. I just use duct tape.

Make no mistake, these are undoubtedly excellent crochet hooks with very fine anodized surfaces. However, I'd intended them for a youngster wrestling with a potholder loom, and they're just too short for the application. No criticisms, just disappointment, as those I'd purchased for other kids years ago were just right.

I bought these for my wife. She decided to take up crochet as a hobby. She wanted to make scarves, blankets, etc. The three larger needles are good for this type of thing. She really won't use the smaller ones, but even based on the price of the three larger needles, it was still a good deal.
