Most Used Crochet Hook Size

Posted in Fun Ramblings on September 24th, 2018 by Rachel Choi – 3 Comments

The crochet hook size you use greatly depends on what you are crocheting and the weight of yarn you crochet with. If you’re crocheting with thread, you’re likely to use a very small crochet hook. If you’re crocheting with super bulky weight yarn, you’re likely to crochet with a large crochet hook.

Like most beginners, when I first started crocheting I wasn’t sure what size crochet hook to buy. I ended up purchasing a small set with a variety of crochet hooks, which I still use today. Now, as a more experienced crocheter, I found my most used crochet hook size is an I (5.50 mm) crochet hook. I use a lot of medium/worsted weight yarn and make a variety of items such as hats, scarves, blankets, home decor, etc. Of course there are plenty of other crochet hook sizes that I use, so a set with different sizes is what I always recommend to others, but if there is one crochet hook that I would get duplicates of it’s the I (5.50 mm) crochet hook.

What is your most used crochet hook size? What type of yarn do you typically crochet with, and what do you often make? Share your experience below and see what others are saying!
