Basics

Your Hook size needs to match your yarn ‘weight’. The thicker the yarn, the bigger the hook. I’ve always bought a hook based on mm size. Most projects sit within 3.5-5mm.

The yarn will have a label recommending what size hook.

Amigurumi (toys) generally tell you to go one size down from the recommendation on the yarn. This is to keep the stitches tight and hold the toy stuffing without it showing.

Chunky projects, like blankets and cushions will generally be on 8+mm.

Doubling (or even tripling) the yarn will mean you need a bigger hook or your fingers. (Eg using two or three balls of wool at the same time to make it thicker…I’m using yarn recommending 10mm hook but I’m using two balls at the same time and crocheting with my finger as the hook for my crochet blanket project).

Reading a crochet pattern

In case you didn’t know, there are UK and US stitch terms. It doesn’t matter which you prefer (most patterns, especially purchased ones give both options).

I prefer US but it’s purely preference. Whichever you go with, just make sure you know before you start.
