Crochet Hooks Explained: Best Sizes & Shapes Every Beginner Should Know | Crochet Techniques

If you’ve ever felt confused about crochet hook sizes, letters, and shapes, you’re not alone! In this episode of Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast, I break down everything beginners need to know about crochet hooks—from U.S. vs. U.K. sizing, to the difference between tapered and inline hooks, to which materials (aluminum, bamboo, plastic, or steel) make the biggest difference in your projects.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
● How to read crochet hook sizes in millimeters, letters, and numbers

● Why millimeter sizing is the most reliable across brands

● The pros and cons of tapered (Boye) vs. inline (Susan Bates) crochet hooks

● How ergonomic crochet hooks help with hand pain and comfort

● My recommendations for the best crochet hooks for beginners, amigurumi, and bulky yarn projects

By the end, you’ll know exactly which crochet hook to use for your project, what features actually matter, and how to choose the one that feels best in your hands.
