Happy NatCroMo – that’s National Crochet Month! This month I’m partnering with Yarnspirations to giveaway an entire set of Susan Bates Soft Ergonomic Crochet Hooks – take a closer look and enter to win below!
Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by Yarnspirations and includes affiliate links; all opinions are my own.
The Hook Specs:
Susan Bates Silvalume Soft Ergonomic Crochet Hooks are an improvement on the aluminum Susan Bates hooks you know and love – they’ve added an ergonomic sleeve that covers everything below the thumb rest!
Like all Susan Bates, these are in-line hooks, suited for both knife and pencil grips. The size is printed on both the thumb rest and the soft ergonomic handle – and of course, they have the Susan Bates color coding. They are available in sizes US-E, 3.5mm to US-K, 6.5mm – all the sizes you probably use most!
My Experience:
I tend to switch between the Soft Ergonomic Hooks, and the Bamboo Hooks – I love them both! I find I like these better for smaller sizes, and the bamboo better for larger sizes – and both let me crochet in comfort.
These hooks feel warm in the hand, and while the ergonomic sleeve isn’t exactly “squishy”, it does provide a good feeling of padding and makes the hook more comfortable to use.

Mari
What a beautiful set, it looks so comfortable
Leah Ready
My favorite hook size is either J or H, depending on project. Until finding Moogly during the height of the Pandemic, I preferred size G, probably because that was all that I had when I learned to crochet at age 10. Fifty years later, I am more amenable to change. Thank you for such a fun Blog Site and all of your helpful tips and videos, as well as the CALs.
Irene
I have heard great things about these hooks. Will they help with carpal tunnel? Mostly with the gripping.
Dorothy
I’m a Susan Bates girl from way back when… but several years ago switched to something more comfortable. These older hands need help sometime… I’d love to try the SB model..!

BECKY LEON
my favorite crochet hooks are I & J… Susan Bates.. my interest in crochet started over 40 yrs ago when as a young child I found a bent and twisted Susan Bates Size C hook on the ground. At some point I straightened it out, and after many moves, I still have that hook.
Diane Berron
I love these hooks, my favorite size is the one I’m working with, today it is both 5.5mm and 6,0mm, I’m working on a planned pooling project and just one hook won’t do it

Adrienne McCarthy
I love using my D hook, but lately my G with a DK is doing it for me!
Meggan Lloyd
Great hook set. i look forward to trying them out.
Jane Fenwick
My favorite size is 4mm or 4.5mm. Smaller hooks seem to be easier for me to reduce arthritis pain.
Douglas Speeckaert
These are my all time favorite hooks to use! The are very comfortable to use and the length of the hooks is perfect for someone with large hands.
Laura Salgado
Love Susan Bate hooks. My favorite hook at the moment is a J. For some reason, last year my favorite hook was an H. I think it may be because my hands get more tired and a bigger hook and thicker yarn makes things more enjoyable.
Anne
Amazing set! Thanks so much!
Anne
My favourite crochet hook size is 5 mm. I use it all the time!
Michelle
Just when I’ve nearly worn out my favourite 6mm hook!

Alysia
My favorite size would be H or I. Really depends on what I’m making and what yarn I’m using. Thanks for the opportunity!

I prefer a US H or above. But no matter what size, the hook has to have an ergonomic handle.

I’m going to go with hook size G. Thanks for the giveaway!

Donna Grybowski
My favorite hook is which ever one I’m working with at the moment. I’ve been a Susan Bates girl since I started a few decades ago with hooks from my aunt and grandmother. I have a few of the ergonomic ones which are great to work with and they don’t seem to “wander off”. I would love to have a full set as I usually have multiple wips.
DebbieW
These hooks make it easier when we have grip issues as we age.

Haley
H and I are my most frequented hooks!
Kitten With A Whiplash
In the past I always used G or H. Now I’m trying finer yarns and smaller hooks. Not loving it, but determined to really give it a fair shot. I don’t see myself ever going smaller than D, but then again, I never thought I’d go smaller than G, so?
Carolyn S Hohenfeldt
I absolutely love Susan Bates hooks! If had had ten sets it wouldn’t be enough!
My most used hook is a 5mm
Love, love, love!
Cathy
I like F hooks the most.

Sarah Koppelberger
Bates are the only hooks I use. Would love to try these!
H is probably my favorite but G gets used more
Carolyn
I haven’t tried these yet but just crocheted two mermaid tails using a size P hook. They went fast but the cushioning would have been nice! Usually I use an H or G for afghans.
Kristina
I discovered ergonomic crochet hooks while doing my first few amigurumi projects. What a difference! Now I want that cushion for just about every project, especially for the smaller hooks. I’d love to win a set but will be looking for these next shopping trip.
Shawn Weisser
I’d love to try these out after having hand surgery! They look awesome.
Tiffany Marentette
My favorite hook size is either 5.0mm or 6.00mm would love to win these 😍 I have fibromyalgia and arthritis
Lisa
My favorite hook size is H. It’s right in the middle of all the sizes and I feel like so many of my patterns use size H.
Lee
My favorite hook size is 5.0 but 6.5 is really growing on me due to the type of projects I’ve been working on.
Lisa
Oh! I’ve never tried these kind of hooks! I’ll need to because you can never have too many hooks!
Barbara Schikore
I have crocheted for over 60 years and have used Susan Bates for many of those years! I usually use H, I, or J but have used all sizes. These hooks look lovely! I hope I win! TYIA

What a nice set! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Bates hooks, but have never been able to get some where I live. My go-to hook sizes are a 5.5 and 3.5 for wearables and amigurumi 🙂
Christine Voss
There are so many different reasons for why to choose a certain size hook but I think my go to is an I hook. It can be used for so many different projects and is comfortable to hold in any style hook I use. Thanks so much Moogly!
Tereasa Kitchens
My favorite hook is F, followed by E and G…The larger hooks always feel bulky to me and it takes a little bit to get my tension good using them…
Sara
My most used size of hooks are I-9/5.5mm & J-10/6.00mm. I can’t say these are actually my favorites but they are the most used.
Beckie Boraten
At the moment, I am using a 6mm hook making hats. I usually am crouching doilies and use a 1.65mm hook for those.
Bekky
My favorite hook size is J. I love ergonomic hooks — crochet smarter and longer!
Mandi King
My favorite is hook size to use is the H or 5.0 . I have crocheted a wedding dress in a 2.o hook and it was pretty difficult but a very rewarding project in the end.
AmberRuby
Susan Bates are my favorite hooks of all. The pointy tips and in-line styled hook seem to help me move under and through my stitches faster and easier. I’d love to try out the ergonomic handles, to see how they feel.
I can’t say that I have a favorite size, because I work with all kinds of yarn. That said, I think I probably use the blue size H8/5.00mm the most, because I’m always misplacing it!
Sandra McFadden
I love my G,H & I hooks the best.
Princess
My favorite crochet hook sizes are 2.5mm, 2.00mm and 1.5mm i use these for making amigurumis and earrings. 3.75mm for shawls and tops.

I use 3.25 and 3.75 a lot for amurigumi. Otherwise I use H. Susan Bates with Bamboo handles have been my favorites for years!

I am usually making an afghan as a gift, so it is either a G or an H hook. I have used Susan Bates hooks for years

Thanks so much for this giveaway.

Carol Bromund
Hello All,
I love the Susan Bates Hooks because they are the only ones where the neck is the same width as the hook itself, and this is what keeps your stitches nice and even. I taught my niece to crochet left handed even though I am right handed, and told her to only buy the Susan Bates hooks. I get a lot of compliments on my crocheting. Before I learned about the type hook you should use, I was wondering why my crocheting efforts were not as good as a friend of mine. Then I switched to Susan Bates hooks and boy, did I see a big difference!
Carol Bromund
Oops, I forgot to say which size hook is my favorite. I have 3 that I use more than others… f, g, and h.
Lori Morton
Thank you for chance to win your Give-a-way!! 😀 I use my size I hook the most…

Taught myself how to crochet at age 13 with a steel set. Fast forward to now where my brittle bones took a toll and I am wheelchair confined at age 60 and I took out the steel hooks and ummm no I cannot work with them now.
I have broken hands so many times and need something easier to grasp and softer on m hands.
This would be an awesome win!
Heather K
Not sure I’d call it my favorite size, but I seem to mostly use size K these days.
Miriam Lauer

I love an H hook the best! But I also enjoy trying out new projects that call for different size yarn and hooks 🙂
