I'm taking a beginners crocheting class, and need to bring a crochet hook. would these be good to start out with?

Yes. I'm just starting out with crocheting too and I brought these as beginner hooks. They are great.

I hold mine overhand too and it works well. I crochet tightly and hold the hook tightly and it helped with the pain from holding the hook so hard. It's a larger surface in your hand and I think it keeps your hand in a more natural position.

Yes, that's what I bought them for. I have a chicken wire frame that I use these hooks to hang my necklaces on! These work perfectly

They are good for most bracelets and such. I think these are second best only to the original Rainbow Loom Bands. I recommend them. I don't think any of these types if bands would stretch that big.

probably not....But it is not necessary. they are the greatest easiest hanger hooks as long as you are hanging into sheetrock.

It did not come with hooks. I used mine that I already had. They should be inexpensive I think.

Kathryn Yes I crochet a prayer shawl with them on. Of course I used N hook and thick wool.

I used these for a Beginner class which was minimal hitting - no bag work and they were just fine. you may want something with more padding if you're going to spar/bag work.

They are very light so I would just get the Scotch Tape hooks. These are easy to put up and take down when you want to move them!

It came with three or four hooks, and Yes you should order extras. I ordered 6 extras.

This is a good basic set but, if you're looking to carve spoons or bowls, FROM WHAT I'VE READ AND SEEN, you'll need a hook knife as well. Something like this... Morakniv Wood Carving 163 Hook Knife with Carbon Steel Blade

I think I would be cautious. I have had a bit of trouble with them coming apart, thankfully nothing serious. The instructions for assembly were pretty vague. I'm sure there are better storage solutions for your yarn than these.

The handles will work out great. I use them in my class and I have some big guys in there and they like them. The bands themselves are great I ended up ordering a huge set for the gym and a year later they are still going strong.

Hello! These will stand up to considerable use. I have Stitchberry single tipped bamboo needles and they are much more fragile than these by Ostart. The latter is a lovely darker "polished" wood, not like the Stitchberry that I have to sand on occasion to keep smooth. Even the US 1 is a sturdy set. I live at the beach and store them in a plastic box inside the little plastic sleeves they were shipped in and mine haven't warped at all. I have been delighted with this set of double pointed needles, I use them very often [I don't have a telly so I craft instead]. I wouldn't be able to knit hats and baby things without them. :-)

They should be the perfect size for this. If you want a visual, take your index finger and form it into a hook shape, roughly that large.

These hooks are a little big for that, however, they're really nice so it would be a nice idea. I use mine to hang large bath towels in the bathroom. I tried a mug & it does work, the handle clanked against the hook part when I took it off, but other than that, easy on, easy off.

Hi Donna! Yes, if you have more than four pots/pans to hang (and you probably do) I would order some extra hooks. Enjoy!
