I'm afraid this doesn't have the Amazon verified buyer next to my name as I bought it in a local store. It was in my shopping cart but I suddenly NEEDED a specific size RIGHT AWAY. I did want to add a review however, and give my opinion in the context of my own level of expertise (or lack thereof), so a potential buyer might be able to gauge how well the item will suit them.

To place into perspective, I am not a terribly experienced crochet person. My grandmother taught me when I was a girl, and 20 years later I picked it up while pregnant. I made a baby afghan and assorted booties/hats/sweaters. Let the hobby go, but started with my next pregnancy 5 years later with the same results. Somehow I have started again and so far I've made a dog coat (greyhound) and some baby hats. I've started a larger afghan (twin sized, and I work on it sporadically), and have kept busy with baby hats and tampon cozies (don't ask). Other than the granny squares my grandmother showed me I've been self taught using books, and more recently, You Tube.

In any case, I have not tried this sort of hook/handle before and it is shorter in length than what I am accustomed to. However, after barely 5 minutes I was quite adjusted to it (and I apparently use the 'knife' hold--had to check a You Tube video on that one) and find this shape quite suitable.

I do recommend this item--well made and the grip is quite comfortable.

These ergonomic crochet hooks are great. Even as a relatively young crocheter without the problems of arthritis or carpal-tunnel, my hands hurt from time to time if I've been crocheting a lot. These hooks keep your fingers in a more neutral position which is healthier for your hands. After using one for a few minutes, you'll realize that you're not gripping the hook too tightly and that your hand is relaxed. I think this would be great for crocheters who tend to work too tightly.

My only wish is that Clover made hooks in sizes larger than J!

I have found this hook is very ergonomically made so as to reduce the pain I feel in my hands from carpal tunnel and arthritis. My only complaint is not about the product but that it is rather pricey, but when you are in pain you will pay to get away from it! Still wish they were cheaper...

Honest reviews on Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hook

These hooks have allowed to crochet after having to stop for over four years because of arthritis!! They're one of the best things that ever happened to me. You might have to modify your grip somewhat as I did but it's worth it. As another review said, they could stand to be a bit thicker for those with seriously advanced arthritis. I'm not quite that far yet but these hooks help me enjoy crochet again until that time. Well worth the price!
