Holding the Hooks used for crocheting - What to know? Crochet hooks can be held in two different ways, there are those that hold it like a pen and those that hold it like a knife. But which is the right way? Is there even a right or wrong? What do you have to consider when holding the crochet hook? What makes the handles of the crochet hook so special? In this blog we would like to answer all your questions about crochet hooks properly. That one question is clarified in advance, there is no right or wrong way to hold the crochet hook. The most common thing about the posture is that it's comfortable for you and won't cause you any pain in your hands or wrists even after working for a long time. Still, it's good to know that there are two ways to hold the crochet hook. This way you can try out both types and be sure to find the right posture for you or if you want to teach someone how to crochet, you can show both postures. If your current attitude is giving you long-term problems, a change can certainly do you good and bring improvement. All crochet hooks follow a specific structure. Next to the hook, most needles have a dimple or flat part in the middle. This is thought for the thumb. Ergonomic crochet hooks are built a little differently, the
handles are usually curved. There are crochet hook handles that are only made of metal, or have a soft grip, like our popular Waves crochet hooks. The different materials from which the crochet hooks are made also determine how the crochet hook can be held. Wooden and bamboo needles usually have a better grip than aluminum needles. But the aluminum needles slide more easily through the wool and can. At Knitpro you can also find acrylic crochet hooks, which are particularly popular with beginners due to their attractive price. Now that we've cleared up the anatomy and basics about the crochet hooks, we can now move on to the posture. The knife handle With the knife handle, you hold the crochet hook, as the name suggests, like a knife. Your hand completely grasps the handle. The thumb is on the side facing you and is not bent. The pen handle Just as you hold a pen when writing, the crochet hook is also held here with this grip. Unlike the knife handle, the needle is not completely in the hand, but only between the fingers. As said at the beginning of the blog entry, there is no right or wrong. You should only reconsider the posture if you get pain and notice that the posture is not good for you in the long term. Another argument for changing your posture would be that your stitch pattern will change. Depending on how you hold your crochet hook, the stitch pattern and the structure of the work can change.
