Amour Crochet Hooks
By Shannon and Jason
From the first crochet patterns we published to our three latest crochet books Crochet Geometry, Designer Crochet, and Complete Crochet Course, Clover Amour Crochet Hooks have been in our hands all the way. Whether working on personal projects, teaching classes, or creating the pieces for our books, we couldn’t do what we do without these hooks. Especially when Shannon started developing hand and wrist pain from all metal crochet hooks, the ergonomic soft grips made it easier to use a soft touch to hold the hooks resulting in the ability to stitch for longer periods of time pain free. Those same soft grips handles allow for a lighter touch and secure grip no matter how you hold your hooks. Pen, wand, knife, or that hybrid hold Shannon uses, the hooks don’t “spin” and the lighter grip means faster stitching. Add to that the deep throat of the softly pointed hook and these are the perfect hook for everything from thread crochet to jumbo projects.
For our Amour Crochet Hook feature, we offer up our Chrysanthemum Shrug pattern. The Chrysanthemum Shrug features the simplicity and elegance of a shrug built on one central motif. While the pattern is written in one size range, it is easy to expand the center back motif to create unlimited sizes both larger and smaller. The Chrysanthemum Shrug is the perfect addition to your wardrobe just in time for Spring and Summer. Made in a luscious mohair blend medium-weight yarn, this one-skein project offers instant gratification with easy instructions and no-sew construction. Start one today and you could be wearing this FAB creation tomorrow!
