Do you ever get that weird cramp in your hand when you are crocheting? I have! I started looking for different types of crochet hooks that would help with my hand posture. I figured if they make ergonomic coffee cups, then they probably make ergonomic crochet hooks.
There are two different types of crochet hooks: in-line hooks and tapered hooks. In-line hooks are a uniform size all the way up to the top of the hook, and the hook has a sharp, pointy head. Tapered hooks are more narrow towards the top of the hook and have a round, soft head.
I prefer the in-line hooks because I am a tight crocheter and the consistent size of the shaft helps to keep my work a uniform size without getting too tight.
Here are the top 3 ergonomic crochet hooks:
-

-Made of lightweight aluminum with an elastomer rubber handle, this tapered hook provides maximum comfort since it is so soft in your hand.
