I just started with Tunisian crochet, and I must say, I adore it! I've seen so many videos talking about these expensive hook sets, which I'm just not ready to invest in as a beginner. So, I was so relieved to find your video! So many thanks. :)
Thank you for the info. Anyone curious about the double ended hook with the cable in between should check out The Purple Crochet. She is left handed. I am right and easily grasped the concept. Good Luck!
I’m SO happy I happened upon your tutorial! I’ve been wondering about the Tunisian hooks with attached cords since I bought my first Tunisian hooks and I have bought several but still haven’t found “just the right one” for me! This was very helpful in helping me make my decision on giving them a try! Thank you again!!❤️👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you sooo much for the excellent instructional review on the various types of Tunisian crochet hooks. I’ve learned a lot & look forward to watching more of your videos. Greetings from southern New Hampshire USA!
@@ModeBespoke Alaska crafty gal Victoria posted a video today and was trying to use a straight metal Tunisian hook for a blanket and I sent her your way :)!
Thank you for the link to this video. This is an excellent review for Tunisian hooks. I really appreciate it. Since you reviewed these hooks, have you discovered any new hooks that you would recommend 💜🕊️💚🍵
i wonder if we could get a touch with knitpal and request 9 inch circulars alot of knitters use this size for socks, instead of knittng needle on the ends there are tunisian hooks and prolly get them in a set of 2.5 - 4mm
Hi! You totally can! Email them at: hello@KnitPal.com I have the 16” circulars, but don’t use them much, but I prefer the firm double-ended to the corded circular. Have you found the circular helpful for socks? I believe they are releasing short double-ended hooks for socks sometime soon, but I’m not sure when that will be exactly.
@@ModeBespoke I actually dont own a are pair of circular double ended hooks, I've found a magic loop technique here on youtube and did socks in the round that way but it turned out to be a pain in the butt 😂 there was yarn knots everywhere!
Gracias Por tu video!!! Yo solo ago crochet pero quiero aprender esto también cual sería u prole to fácil para enpezar? Veo mucho contenido en tu página 😬🥰😍
Amazing video and very informative !! I'm planning on investing in a set of interchangable knitting needles and want to pick up a few individual hooks from the same brand since I can use the same cables on those. Im guessing 6mm is a good starting size but what 3-4 other sizes would you recommend for general purpose projects ? Im thinking of going for bigger sizes but not sure if you recommend at least one smaller size
Glad you find it useful! 😊 🤔 It would depend on what types of yarns you like to use (I’m taking weight here), and what types of projects you like to crochet. If you want to crochet socks, a 3 mm is good. 4 or 4.5 is nice to have, and either a 7 or 8 mm hook is good. Those sizes generally cover a good range of projects and yarn weights, but that’s just based on what I normally use. Hope it helps!
Hi! Yes, you can. Though depending on the cord length, it could get uncomfortable. But it is totally doable, especially if you don’t want to buy multiple sets of hooks.
I’ve read quite a few of those too, but I haven’t had any issues. I just file that bit of the hook down if it snags and that solves the problem, but it’s a rare occurrence. With the exception of the red TC hook you might see in some videos, all of my other hooks are KnitPal. I quite like them.
@@ModeBespoke thank you so much! Going to buy and try my luck. Ive crochet for many years and need to learn. I definitely need shorter length as I couldn't keep knitting due pain and being to long
I’ve seen something similar (but without the cord, just a hook/needle combo) and it was used for Portuguese Knitting. I’m not familiar with the technique, so I’m not much help there. 😅
I prefer a 3 mm or 4 mm double ended needle for socks ... that works and look fine. but you can also use a bigger size hook with the right yarn and less stitches for home- or wintersocks. you must know what you want to have at the end :D you can also double the yarn, or use the navajo technique to triple the normaly thin sockyarn. there are so many options to use a bigger needle with a nice pattern per projekt I think. etc pp look here pls : a pretty sock with letters and you only need to know the knit and reverse stitch ua-cam.com/video/E1OglKAZ3dk/v-deo.html or only simple stitch socks : ua-cam.com/video/Oz6UsZMm8pU/v-deo.html
Same here, I cannot work with metal hooks as it hurts my hand. I get like and odd feel and hurts my joints much quicker. I always get Bamboo crochet hooks, knit needles and Tunisian Crochet hooks.
@@ModeBespoke Guess what I found out, so am allergic to nickel and lead, so if the hook has that material it can also cause issues when you are holding the hook. I personally a funny odd feeling when I hold them, so I am going to try stainless steal if there is such a hook.
That's fascinating because I don't like bamboo hooks. I usually work with plastic hooks, especially for little projects but anything bigger I prefer metal 😄 But I also haven't done anything bigger than a bag so maybe that's it.
You are obviously paid by 'Knit-Pal' to recommend these hooks. Any serious Tunisian crocheter will tell you that these are all rubbish! Fixed plastic cords are an absolute pain to use. It is best to invest in a decent set of hooks with detachable swivel cords. Having tried both cheap and expensive hooks believe me, once you have tried a brand such as 'Lantern Moon', or 'ChiaoGoo' the difference is astounding, the former being my favourite!
Thank you so much for the recommendation! 😊 And no, I am not paid by KnitPal. I quite like their hooks. Are you paid by the two companies you recommended? Probably not, but you like their product so you recommend it.

I have started tunisian crochet and I have fallen in love with it. It is easier on my hands as well. I will be back to make some of your projects.
Thanks!

My pleasure 😊 thank YOU!
I was looking for doubled ended short hooks last year and only found those metal ones on Amazon you mentioned. Appreciate the info! Have a great day
Same here. I was so happy to finally find some!
@@ModeBespoke Alaska crafty gal Victoria posted a video today and was trying to use a straight metal Tunisian hook for a blanket and I sent her your way :)!
🥰 thank you! I’ll have to check out her channel, too!
Thank you so much!!!
Your work is awesome!🎩
🙌🏻 thank you!
Thanks for the great explanation. Now I know what to buy to begin.
Glad it helped! Thank YOU 😊
My daughter gave me Leeyien interchangeable crochet hooks kit for my birthday. So far they are great. A lot Denise hooks.
Are they? I’ve never tried interchangeable hooks, I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Great video exactly what I was looking for thank you 😊
Thank you for the link to this video. This is an excellent review for Tunisian hooks. I really appreciate it. Since you reviewed these hooks, have you discovered any new hooks that you would recommend 💜🕊️💚🍵
Thank you! I have not. These are my favorite, so I’ve stuck with them 😊

😂 oh no!!! But you tried it out, which is the important thing. How else would we grow and learn more about our craft? 😊
The first one you showed is absolutely the fibercraft equivalent of a spork
😂 right???! That is the perfect description!

Hi, thank you for sharing.... Can I use a Tunisian hook for regular crochet project?
Hi! Yes, you can. Though depending on the cord length, it could get uncomfortable. But it is totally doable, especially if you don’t want to buy multiple sets of hooks.
@@ModeBespoke Thank you 🥰
I was looking at knitpal and cheaper ones of bamboo but I'm worried about all the bad reviews of snagging yarn etc. How have you knit pals been?
I’ve read quite a few of those too, but I haven’t had any issues. I just file that bit of the hook down if it snags and that solves the problem, but it’s a rare occurrence. With the exception of the red TC hook you might see in some videos, all of my other hooks are KnitPal. I quite like them.
@@ModeBespoke thank you so much! Going to buy and try my luck. Ive crochet for many years and need to learn. I definitely need shorter length as I couldn't keep knitting due pain and being to long
I was given a hook that has a crochet hook on one end, a cord in the middle and a knitting needle end on the other end. Do you know what this is for?
I’ve seen something similar (but without the cord, just a hook/needle combo) and it was used for Portuguese Knitting. I’m not familiar with the technique, so I’m not much help there. 😅
Have you updated your Tunisian hooks yet?
Nope. I use the same bamboo ones still :)
I make my own Tunisian sticks
That is AWESOME!!!! 👏🏼 🤩 ❤️
Sadly, they are unavailable and says not sure when or if going to be available.😢
Oh no! 😔
I prefer a 3 mm or 4 mm double ended needle for socks ... that works and look fine.
but you can also use a bigger size hook with the right yarn and less stitches for home- or wintersocks.
you must know what you want to have at the end :D
you can also double the yarn, or use the navajo technique to triple the normaly thin sockyarn.
there are so many options to use a bigger needle with a nice pattern per projekt I think. etc pp
look here pls : a pretty sock with letters and you only need to know the knit and reverse stitch ua-cam.com/video/E1OglKAZ3dk/v-deo.html
or only simple stitch socks : ua-cam.com/video/Oz6UsZMm8pU/v-deo.html
Totally agree.
Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
The hooks with the coloured cords look like knook hooks
Same here, I cannot work with metal hooks as it hurts my hand. I get like and odd feel and hurts my joints much quicker. I always get Bamboo crochet hooks, knit needles and Tunisian Crochet hooks.
Yes!! Oh my goodness, the joint paint is real! I’d wake up with stiff hands after an evening crocheting with metal hooks.
@@ModeBespoke Guess what I found out, so am allergic to nickel and lead, so if the hook has that material it can also cause issues when you are holding the hook. I personally a funny odd feeling when I hold them, so I am going to try stainless steal if there is such a hook.
That's fascinating because I don't like bamboo hooks. I usually work with plastic hooks, especially for little projects but anything bigger I prefer metal 😄
But I also haven't done anything bigger than a bag so maybe that's it.
I agree with your thoughts on the first hook you showed - I have 1 too and I find it extremely heavy. Dislike it!
Glad I’m not the only one who was not a fan of them!
You are obviously paid by 'Knit-Pal' to recommend these hooks. Any serious Tunisian crocheter will tell you that these are all rubbish! Fixed plastic cords are an absolute pain to use.

And no, I am not paid by KnitPal. I quite like their hooks. Are you paid by the two companies you recommended? Probably not, but you like their product so you recommend it.
I like fixed cords so I have less to keep track of and don't have to worry about damaged swivels on either the cord or hook.
