End of hook

[Missy2280]

I have what may be a silly question, why is the end of the crochet hook pointed? I have been crocheting for about a year a d have always wondered this lol.

By the end are you referring to the head where the hook is or the opposite end without a hook?

[Missy2280]

The end without the hook.

Interesting, not all of them are ( I don't have any with pointy ends, just rounded ). What brand of hooks do you have?

[Wild Raine]

Maybe you got a crochet hook made for crochet knitting? I have seen those in stores and they have a hook on one end and a knitting needle on the other.

Here is a pic of what I am talking about. Its a very small point but I was curious lol. I use Boye. I notice everything

I also use Boye hooks and for some reason the little pointed end is noticeable to me also. I suspect it is just their style.

Had to go pull out my 3 cases of hooks, because I never noticed. .

I have Boye, Bates, Rose and a few other brands. It only seems to be on the Boye hooks.

It is only really notable on the H and larger hooks, the smaller ones appear to be a rounder point. That is why I didn't notice, I rarely use a hook larger than G. Maybe write to boye and ask them if there is a reason???
