FORWARD TO A FRIEND [Your Printable Guide to Yarn and Hook Sizes]( Get your FREE guide right now so you can start your next crochet project! Dear Crochet Maker, When I began to crochet some years ago, I used to get so confused trying to figure out what all the yarn sizes meant. And I never felt like I knew which hook to use when I wanted to make something. Even today, I sometimes come across a vintage yarn that isnât very well labeled, and I have to do a little math in my head to determine which hook to use and what I might create with it. I donât know about you, but some days I feel like I have about ten million squirrels running around in my brain. Those are not the days when I need extra factoring to stand between me and my yarn! If anything, those are the days when I especially love to crochet. [Yarn and Hook Sizes]( [Get my Freebie!]( Crochet gives me a chance to slow things down and breathe. Itâs a creative outlet that helps me focus, and it lets me give handmade gifts to friends and family. Bonus! So, to make things easy, whether youâre a beginner or you have plenty of experience, but already have too many things on your mind, I put together a Printable Chart of Yarn and Hook Sizes. Itâs really streamlined the process for me when I want to start a new project, and Iâd like to share it with you. How to use your printable Yarn and Hook Sizes chart Youâve seen the weight symbol and category names: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Lace, Super Fine, Fine, Light, Medium, Bulky, Super Bulky. Youâve seen the types of yarn in those categories: Fingering, DK, Worsted, Bulky. Youâve seen crochet gauge ranges: 21-32 sts, 16 - 20 sts, and so on. And, of course, youâve crossed paths with hook sizes in both metric and U.S. size ranges, not to mention both regular and steel hooks. With this printable Yarn and Hook Sizes chart, you donât have to keep this all in your head. You donât have to translate numbers and sizes if you want to change a pattern or create your own. The printable guide offers you a 35-point chart detailing the most commonly used gauges and hook sizes for specific yarns. Whether you want to make lacy, openwork patterns or a thick, cozy afghan, youâll know exactly which yarn and which hook to use to get the results you want. This chart makes it so easy to pair the right yarn and hook in a snap, so you can start that next project right away! Give it a try! I hope you enjoy this and you find it as helpful as I have! Sincerely, [Caitlin Eaton]
