Crochet Hook Sizes
|
Here is a guide to the different sizes of crochet hooks.
This is handy when –
 Crocheting items from vintage patterns
Using patterns from another country
It can be a bit confusing trying to work out the size of crochet hook recommended in patterns. Remember this is only a guide. Once you start crocheting the item you will quickly see if you are happy with the result or want to change to a different size of hook.
Everyone crochets with a slightly different tension so if you are unhappy with the feel of your crochet try using a larger hook if your crochet feels too hard or a smaller hook if it looks or feels too loose.
