Prym Pop crochet hook set 5.0–10.0 mm, 5 glitter hooks

Prym Pop crochet hook set – five colourful crochet hooks from 5 to 10 mm

The Pop crochet hook set from Prym contains five sturdy plastic crochet hooks in sizes 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 mm. They are used for crocheting with chunky yarns. Prym lists hats, scarves, bags, pouches, blankets and accessories as projects. Each size has its own colour, so you can quickly pick up the right hook. Glitter particles are embedded in the plastic.

The smooth surface lets the yarn glide well. Prym designs the set for young and adult crochet fans alike: the hooks are light and suitable for children and adults.

Finding the right size

The hook size you need is usually given on the ball band of your yarn. This figure is only a guide. What matters is the tension given in your pattern: crochet a swatch and compare the number of stitches over 10 cm. If you have too many stitches, use the next size up; if you have too few, use a smaller hook. With five sizes in the set, you can try this straight away without having to buy individual hooks.

Avoiding common mistakes

Beginners often crochet too tightly, which makes it hard to insert the hook into the stitch. Hold the working yarn loosely and pull each loop up far enough to fit over the shaft of the hook, not just over the head.

For comparison: for finer yarns, Prym offers, for example, the ALU crochet hook set in colours, from 2.5 to 5 mm.
