Hook Size & Tension
Crocheters crochet very differently: some crochet with a hook size 2,0 mm and obtain the same size of design and quality as a person who crochets with a hook size 4,0 mm. We owe this knowledge to the team of crocheters who join us.
The key to crochet a specific size is a lot about the crochet style/hands/skills, rather than the size of hook. Therefore, we will recommend a range of hook sizes.
