Tulip ETIMO RED crochet hook with Cushion Grip, single hook

Tulip ETIMO RED crochet hook – cushioned handle and matt red tip

The Tulip ETIMO RED is an aluminium crochet hook with a cushioned handle ("Cushion Grip") for amigurumi, filet crochet and accessories. You get a single hook, not a set. Choose the hook size from the options.

According to Tulip, the cushioned handle helps prevent fatigue, which is useful during longer crochet sessions. According to the manufacturer, the matt red tones of the hook head barely reflect light and are easy on the eyes. Tulip makes its crochet hooks in its own factory in Hiroshima, Japan.

Which hook size?

Go by the size given in your pattern or on the ball band. Thin hooks suit fine yarns and filet crochet, thicker ones suit heavier yarns. As crochet can turn out loose or tight, it is best to make a tension swatch. If it doesn't match, change the hook size.

Who is the hook for?

The even stitches and soft grip suit beginners as well as experienced crocheters. The matt red tip stands out against the yarn, so it is easier to find where to insert the hook, even with dark colours.
