Clover Amour Crochet Hooks Review: Worth the Price?
A 10-hook set with soft, colour-coded grips that covers sizes B to J [2]. Here is who it suits, what it does well and how it compares with the pricier Tulip Etimo.
Yes, for most crocheters. The soft elastomer grips make long evenings easier, the 10 sizes cover nearly every pattern from B (2.25 mm) to J (6.0 mm) [2], and on Amazon the set usually sells for about half of Clover's $93.95 list price [1].

- Covers the 10 sizes most patterns call for [2]
- Latex-free handles suit people with latex allergies [2]
- Often about half the list price on Amazon [1]

- Sizes above J (6.0 mm) are sold separately [2]
What comes in the set
The set has 10 hooks, one per size from B (2.25 mm) to J (6.0 mm), according to Clover's product page [2]. Each hook is aluminum with an elastomer rubber handle, and each size has its own handle colour, which makes it easy to pick the right one from a full case.
That range covers most patterns for blankets, amigurumi, hats and garments in light to worsted yarn. People who mainly work with chunky or super bulky yarn will also want bigger hooks, which Clover sells as single Amour sizes [2].
Why crocheters like the grip
The handle is the reason people buy Amour. It is soft rubber rather than bare metal or hard plastic, so the hook is easier to hold for hours without cramping. Clover calls it a comfortable, stress-free grip and says the hook shape is designed for smooth crocheting [2].
It is not the thickest ergonomic handle on the market. People with arthritis who need a very wide grip sometimes prefer chunkier options, but for most hands the Amour is the comfortable middle ground.
Who it is a good gift for
It suits beginners who are ready to replace a mixed bag of cheap hooks, and regular crocheters who still work with bare aluminum hooks. It is also a safe gift when you do not know which sizes someone uses, because the set covers the common range [2].
For someone who crochets every day and wants a premium set with a case, the Tulip Etimo is the step up, at roughly double the price on Amazon [1][3].
FAQ
What sizes are in the Clover Amour set?
Ten sizes, as listed by Clover [2]: B (2.25 mm), C (2.75 mm), D (3.25 mm), E (3.5 mm), F (3.75 mm), G (4.0 mm), 7 (4.5 mm), H (5.0 mm), I (5.5 mm) and J (6.0 mm) [2].
Are Clover Amour hooks good for arthritis?
Many people with sore hands find the soft rubber grip easier than bare metal hooks. Those who need a much wider handle may prefer chunkier ergonomic hooks, so it helps to know how they hold the hook [2].
