Knit Pro Waves Crochet Hook Set
Best for small-scale designs
Although many luxury crochet hooks are made from wood, you might prefer the strength of metal hooks (especially if you're a tight crocheter).
The Knit Pro Waves set features nine smooth aluminium hooks, each with a colour-coded soft-grip handle, which many people find helps to relieve any soreness while crocheting. The hooks come in a nice faux leather case and the sizes range from 2mm to 6mm, making them perfect for crocheters who like making amigurumi and other small-scale projects.
Prym Ergonomic Hooks
Best for relieving soreness
Prym Ergonomic Hooks have been designed so you can crochet in comfort! These ergonomically designed hooks are made from a super-lightweight plastic and have a rubber-coated handle, making them the perfect choice for any crocheter that suffers from wrist or hand strain with regular hooks.
The long, smooth shaft on the hooks also ensures you won't have any difficulty making your stitches, and the hooks are handily colour-coded by size.
Prym hooks are available to buy individually, or can be bought as a five-hook set.

Light Up Rechargeable Wooden Crochet Hooks
Best for gadget lovers
If you're a fan of tech as well as crochet, you'll love these light-up wooden hooks. We've long been a fan of this innovative type of hook, but these particular ones have had a significant upgrade.
For a start, they're rechargeable via USB, so there’s no need for specialist batteries anymore. They've also been designed so that the light-up hook part is interchangeable (with 11 sizes), so you can just buy one set rather than lots of different hooks.
And finally, the handle is ergonomically designed with a stylish wooden section and soft silicone grip. It's perfect for a bit of night-time hooking!
