We all have different crochet hooks that we prefer. I’m a Boye girl myself but I know a lot of people who like Addi hooks and Etimos and various others brands, shapes and styles. Whatever type of hook you have, it probably looks exactly the same as almost everyone else’s collection of those same hooks. I know that my Boye hooks look just like every other Boye hooks I’ve ever seen. But your crochet hooks don’t have to stay run-of-the-mill. There are tons of cool ways that you can decorate, embellish and personalize your crochet hooks.

Some people add clay handles to make their hooks more ergonomic. Others use upcycling to make their crochet hooks unique with found objects. And some just add crochet hook decorations because they want to be able to pick their hooks out of a crowd. Whatever your reason, here are some ideas to get you started with making your crochet hooks one-of-a-kind works of art:

Han lægger ud af detaljerne for de bedste måder at wrap og sy krogene i teksten af ​​bogen.

Jeg fandt en lignende idé ved hjælp af blyant greb på http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Easy-Comfort-Crochet-Hooks/#step1 men i denne ene, De foreslår indpakning tape rundt om krogen, indtil blyanten greb bliver på plads. Jeg har prøvet bare at skubbe greb på, men uden en tilstrækkelig bred tykkelse, Jeg tilbragte det meste af min tid på at jagte grebet op og ned af min krog. Jeg har tænkt mig at bryde ud af malertape og se, hvordan det fungerer. I don't know how much longer my hand can handle a plain hook. i might try the polymer clay idea too! thanks for the ideas.

Thanks for letting me know you had this on your blog. There are some great ideas here for crochet hooks.

The decoupaged crochet handle is a wooden dowel rod, cut to length, ends rounded off and a hole for the slightly shortened metal crochet hook drilled at one end. My husband did it for me :-) Then I just decoupaged the handle using Mod Podge like you would for any other decoupage project using the same material I used for the shuttle and the needle case. I think it came out rather nice.

Thanks so much for sharing the additional information about how you made the decoupaged handle. I've actually never done any decoupage myself although I've seen it on craft shows and blogs and whatnot. What a great way to personalize a crochet hook!!
