Delux Ergonomic Crochet Hook Set vs Susan Bates Soft Ergonomic Crochet Hook Set

Both sets give you eight aluminum hooks. The Delux set runs in metric sizes from 2.5mm to 6.0mm and comes in a zippered flower-print case that weighs about 110g. The Susan Bates Soft set uses US letter sizes E through K with an in-line head, a long taper and color-coded handles. Crocheters who work fine thread and lace want the Delux range. Those who follow US patterns and want a familiar in-line hook should pick Susan Bates. Owners rate the Delux highly, but on only 24 ratings, so treat that score as thin.

• Choose the Delux set if you work fine yarns, want metric sizes down to 2.5mm, and like a case that keeps the hooks together in a bag.
• Choose the Susan Bates Soft set if you follow US patterns, prefer an in-line head with a long taper, and want color-coded handles for quick size picking.
