The wider the project, the more you have to really cram the stitches on. The largest item I have been able to crochet with a stick hook is a baby blanket which is about 36″ wide. You can also get a full set of aluminum stick hooks for a great price. The gorgeous wooden hooks pictured here are Furls Tunisian stick hooks. (Note that the Back in Brugge Beanie could also be worked in the round if you have a double ended hook!) These hooks are excellent for making anything small-ish that is worked flat and in rows, such as in the Wisteria Wrap, the Heavely Hygge hat, the Back in Brugge Beanie, or the Honeycomb Shawl pattern.
Stick Tunisian (afghan) hooks are typically ~12″ (30cm) long. See all of the Tunisian hooks offered on Amazon at this link. I have included links to all of my favorite hooks below. For some reason every brick and mortar store I’ve checked has a very limited selection (typically 6 or 6.5mm only) and I have personally never seen a double ended hook in-store. No matter which hooks you choose, your best chance of finding what you need will be online. Which is the best hook for a certain project? Well that just depends on what you’re making. These are long crochet hooks that either have a stopper on one end (similar to a knitting needle), have a cable attached, or have a hook on both ends. Tunisian crochet hooks are also called Afghan hooks.
