When I first started crocheting I had no clue what hook to use with what yarn size. All I wanted was for someone to tell me what to use to get started, but nobody would. That's why I created this chart. I hope y'all can have a bit of your mind eased with this chart to help y'all get started. Happy crocheting!
Remember these are just common terms and suggested hook sizes. The beauty of crochet is you can be creative, and do anything you would like! There is no right, or wrong.
