Hi Everyone,
Has anyone seen a size 7, on my gauge it falls between a G and H. I don't recall ever seeing one before. Hugs, Nora |

Hugs, Nora Hmm . . . the only time I can recall seeing crochet hooks with a number instead of a letter are on the really tiny metal ones, the kind one uses for doilies. Curious! Karen in MN |

Crochet Hook Size 7
Hi Karen,
Me too, but then again the gauge I have is an old Susan Bates metal one and maybe they don't make that size any longer. Hugs, Nora |

Hi Stella,
That's what I thought it would be too a steel one and not one for making the hat that Katherine did. Oh well, I'm going to use the H hook. Hugs, Nora |

Crochet Hook Size 7
Nora,
Going by millimeter measurement, a 7mm hook would be above a K. Perhaps an L? I don't have one on hand, so can't check for you. I know they make them, though they're hard to find. N's, P's, and Q's are easier to locate. By the numbering system we use here in the states, it would fall exactly between a G and an H. Knitting needles in size 7 (UKor US standard) would be 4.5mm in diameter, which would equate to a size G hook diameter. Another possibility is that the pattern was designed before the major manufacturers really standardized the measurements. I have an old Gem hook that's listed as size I/9, but it's 6mm in diameter. Every hook I see now that happens to be 6mm in diameter is a J/10. If this is the case, then the pattern may actually call for an H. Size 7 steel hooks (no letter) are made, but I'm certain they're too small for anything except crochet cotton thread. It's the steel hook size we tended to run out of most often at Hobby Lobby, and it's also the one I use most often, unless I'm crocheting with sewing thread (13/14 steel one for that). I guess the best thing to do would be see if the stitches in any examples are fairly tightly placed together, or loose and "floppy". If it's floppy, go with a hook around the L or so. If not, just keep trying from G and on up until you find a hook that matches your gauge. Personally, I'd start with the H, as it seems to be what my gut tells me is most likely. Anastasia ---not that you'd really need to be told all that last bit, but I added it because who knows who might check the archives for this later on? |

Yep, that's what I thought, Anastasia.
