Crochet Hooks & Crochet Needles — Single Hooks, Sets, Kits & Cases
A crochet hook (also called a crochet needle) is the primary tool used in crochet, a fiber craft in which a single hook is used to pull loops of yarn through other loops to form fabric, garments, and three-dimensional objects. The Woolery carries crochet hooks in all sizes and materials; available individually and in sets.
How a crochet hook works: A crochet hook has four functional parts: the pointed tip (for inserting into stitches), the throat or groove (catches the yarn and pulls it through), the shaft (determines hook diameter and sets stitch size), and the handle (grip area). Hook diameter is the most important sizing variable as it directly controls stitch size and finished fabric gauge.
Crochet hook sizes:
| US size | Metric (mm) | Typical yarn weight |
| B/1 | 2.25mm | Lace, crochet thread |
| C/2 | 2.75mm | Fingering |
| D/3 | 3.25mm | Sport |
| E/4 | 3.5mm | DK |
| F/5 | 3.75mm | DK |
| G/6 | 4.0mm | Worsted |
| H/8 | 5.0mm | Worsted |
| I/9 | 5.5mm | Bulky |
| J/10 | 6.0mm | Bulky |
| K/10,5 | 6.5mm | Super bulky |
| L-Q | 8.0-15mm+ | Jumbo |
Always check your pattern's recommended hook size and work a gauge swatch — hook size directly affects finished dimensions.
Crochet hook vs. crochet needle — are they the same thing?
Yes. Crochet hook and crochet needle are two names for the same tool. "Crochet hook" is the more widely used term in the US and UK. "Crochet needle" is a common alternative search term and is used interchangeably in many international markets and older pattern books.
