Crochet Hook Sizes
Crochet hook sizes: Hooks, or needles, as they are generally called, made of
wood, bone or tortoise-shell are used for all the heavier kinds of crochet work
in thick wool or cotton, and steel ones for the finer kinds. The Tunisian crochet
is done with a long straight hook, which is made all in one piece.
The points should be well polished inside and not too sharp, the backs slightly
curved, and the handles, whether of bone, steel or wood, so light as not to
tire the hand. Those represented here, we consider the best, as regards shape.
As it is most essential that the needle should be suited to the cotton in size,
we subjoin a comparative table of the numbers of the D.M.C threads and cottons
and of the different needles.
