This handmade 12 mm wooden crochet hook is perfect for rag rug making with sheet yarn. I use this size hook when making lower profile rag rugs and use sheet yarn that is 1.25" to 1.75". This hook size was my favorite size for the first several years of making rag rugs. The slightly pointed tip helps you navigate into correct stitch however makes the pulling back through of the fabric easier on the hand, wrist and forearm. My husband worked with me to tweak it for fabric rag rug crocheting. I am pleased with the way it performs. They are 12 mm and approximately 8.5" long. Having a longer hook (8.5") makes it more comfortable than most standard crochet hooks. Some crochet hook charts say 12 mm is an O hook. All wooden 12 mm crochet hooks are made with poplar which is a light wood, because they are handmade they will have slight variations. They feel great in your hand. The last photo is a 21 mm and a 12 mm hook so you can compare the difference in size.
