Top 5 Tunisian Crochet Hook Sets
It was love at first stitch when I tried Tunisian crochet 2 years ago. Since then, I’ve shared tutorials and patterns to bring even more crocheters to this fun technique.
In that time, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Tunisian crochet. Like, how to get started, what patterns to try as a beginner, and how to do different stitches. But there’s one question I get all the time that I haven’t answered yet:
“What are your favorite Tunisian crochet hooks?”
The Tunisian crochet hook you choose can make or break your experience with this technique. Today, I’m sharing my top 5 Tunisian crochet hook sets and why I love (or just like) all of them!

Which hook set is best for you?
Choosing a Tunisian crochet hook set is a very personal process. Things that are a dealbreaker for me might be just what you’re looking for. Every crocheter crochets differently, so it will take some experimentation to decide which hook set (or sets!) is the best fit for you.
If I had to recommend just one set, it would be the Denise Interchangeable. I’ve been singing praises about these hooks since day one. They’re an amazing deal, you get basically all the hooks you need in one place, and they crochet like a dream. The set I have isn’t on Amazon right now, but this Denise 2Go set is actually better – it comes with 2 hooks of each size so you can do double-ended Tunisian crochet!
