Hook Tips

We are going to add some crocheting "tips" that we have learned while crocheting. (We will be constantly adding more as they come to us!)

Hook Tips:

1. The smaller your hook, the smaller the stitch. The larger the hook, the larger the stitch. So..... (onto Tip #2)

2. Patterns tell you the size of hook to use. The tip we have? Check the gauge. I crochet tighter than some people or looser than some. So, I sometimes have to use a different hook to match their pattern.

3. Want a lot of hooks on a cheap budget? Used a 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. They have a package of hooks from size C-J for $13.99 which comes to something like $8.40. Not bad! Plus you have the hook sizes for most patterns.

4. Baby Booties usually use smaller needles (D-E Range for newborn sizes)

5. G-H seems to be one of the most common Hook sizes for hats, diaper covers, etc.
