A Guide to the Different Crochet Hook Sizes

.
Here is a chart 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 the pattern.

Remember that 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 it is too hard or a smaller hook if it is too loose looking.
