It's All About the Crochet Hook
The VarieHook Crochet Hook is a new, patent-pending invention by Dee Johnson – a crochet hook with a revolutionary design. The VarieHook’s 5.5mm hook actually includes 3 shaft sizes – 5.5mm, 7mm, and 8.5mm. This allows you to make stitches of different sizes without changing hooks. There are free patterns designed specifically for use with this hook, though you can use it with standard patterns as well. There is also a stitch dictionary designed for this hook. And we're giving a set away!
