    Susan Bates Tunisian Crochet Hook Set Giveaway

    Published: May 9, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · 89 Comments

    Tunisian crochet is having a moment, and Susan Bates has crochet hooks for that! The Susan Bates 10" Tunisian Crochet Hooks are available in three sizes and are a great addition to any crocheter's toolbox. Take a closer look, get some free crochet patterns, and enter to win your own set of Susan Bates Silvalume 10" Afghan Crochet Hooks on Moogly!

    Susan Bates Tunisian Crochet Hook Set Giveaway - MooglyDisclaimer: This post was sponsored by Yarnspirations and includes affiliate links; all opinions are my own.

    The Hook Specs:

    Officially they are called "Susan Bates Silvalume 10" Afghan Crochet Hooks" - but these days, they'd most commonly be called Tunisian hooks. Tunisian crochet used to be called "afghan crochet" but you can make a lot more than afghans with this technique!

    (Need to learn how to Tunisian crochet? CLICK HERE to get started!)

    Susan Bates Tunisian Crochet Hook Set Giveaway - full view

    Susan Bates Tunisian Crochet Hooks come in three sizes: US-H, 5.0mm; US-I, 5.5mm; and US-J, 6.0mm. These hooks are made of lightweight aluminum, polished for a velvety smooth finish. And the stopper on the end is clearly labeled with the hook size!

    These hooks have an extended shaft, approximately 8" long, so you can make a good-sized row of Tunisian stitches. You might not be able to fit an entire blanket's worth, but depending on the yarn size you can fit a fair number of loops in there!

    My Experience:

    I actually have a funny story about these hooks! When I decided to teach myself to crochet, I went to my local big box store and picked up a "how to crochet" pamphlet, a skein of bouclé yarn, and a US-J, 6.0mm Susan Bates Tunisian Crochet Hook... Whoops! As you can imagine, I didn't have much success that round.

    But I held onto that hook, and now I've used it in my newest crochet pattern! (Scroll to the bottom of that pattern to see more of my Tunisian designs!) It's the first one I reach for, and it's still perfectly smooth after 23 years... although the Susan Bates logo has changed!

    And I've got another design in the works with it too! And there are free Tunisian crochet patterns on Yarnspirations of course! Watch for a video tutorial for the Lily Sugar'n Cream Tunisian Simple Stitch Dishcloth here on Moogly later this month!

      I have tried Tunisian Crochet before. It didn't go as planned. But as with every crochet fail, if I just take a break from the issue and try again later, I always have sucess. I really want to try Tunisian again. I'm recovering from a wrap I made my mom for Mother's Day. I gave myself a week off and now it's time to get back to it! What to work on next?

      When I first started to crochet, I fell in love with a pattern and bought a Tunisian crochet hook. I have dabbled with dish cloths but haven't made anything substantial yet. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a pattern for a blanket and am determined to make it for my Mom's Birthday in September.

      I have made several washcloths , a baby blanket and a infinity scarf with Tunisian crochet. I have learned that softer yarn and heavier weight yarn is the easiest and lots of practice is needed to improve your technique especially to get the sides off the time to have similar tension.

      I didn't know how to do Tunisian crochet but I really liked the look so I just taught myself using regular crochet hooks. Then I found a Tunisian crochet pattern for 4-color striped placemats and again used a regular crochet hook to make them (each stripe was only 2" wide). My regular crochet projects take up much of my time but it would be great to have actual Tunisian hooks so I could delve more deeply into Tunisian crochet, too.

      I tried Tunisian crochet years ago when it first came out and the hooks were called afghan hooks...I had the curling that is talked about now that is normal but straightens out when you get a little farther along...Not having the support that is available today and 3 young children I put it down and figured I was doing something wrong...

      I have the Denise set of Tunisian hooks, but I find them impossible to use because the hook part is so short. I think I'd have more success with these longer hooks!

      I enjoy tunisian but don't use it often enough. I've made graphghans, blankets with panels and afghans. I need to make more but need more time.

      I've tried Tunisian crochet with much frustration. However, today I watched your video with great tips and I am excited to try again. I've never had a Tunisian crochet hook! Thanks for the chance to win.
