I have been crocheting for 11years and recently tried the Clover Soft Touch Crochet Hook for my latest project. Here’s my honest review after using it for a week.
Quick Facts
Brand: Clover
Model: Soft Touch
Size: 3.5mm
Material: Aluminium, ABS resin
Project: Blanket
Comfort & Feel
The handle is smooth with a central rubbery piece for added grip which makes it very comfortable to hold. Due to the more oval profile of the handle its easy to keep the hook aligned to use without even looking at the hook position which you sometimes need to with the rounder handles.
The hook is very light to hold and comfortable, even on a longer crochet session I did not find any hand fatigue.
Performance & Quality
The glide is silky smooth to use and effortless moves between stiches without drag. Because of the handle being so lightweight I did question the quality but in fact it appears well crafted and free of any rough edges. The hook size is not cut into the metal part of the hook but instead printed on the plastic handle which I feel is less durable and has the potential to fade in time.
It took me a while to get use to this hook mainly down to its weight but once I was it was a pleasure to use and it almost glided too lightly, I had to glance down at my work to check my work.
Pros & Cons
Comfortable grip
Smooth glide
Handle shape
Well made
More expensive than a basic hook

Who it’s Best For
This crochet hook is best for mid level or experienced crocheters. It is especially supportive for those that have difficult crocheting for long periods, experience hand pain or have limited dexterity.
