Hook Sizes
Crochet Hooks come in an assortment of sizes. For a more detailed guide, be sure to check out the guide on Crochet.com.
According to the guide on crochet.com., the smallest is 2.25 millimetres, and the largest is 30mm. I’ve seen an even bigger one that sits at 35mm, which can be bought from Hive or Gobbler. I’ve seen it in Spotlight. It’s not on the website, from what I can see. They had 25mm, but not 35mm. Big hooks like this are usually used for blankets.
