Crochet hooks

WOW after a long time coming to the blog.

Sudha of sudha out of the box was insisting me to do some doilies.

I am a knitter and did not know about crocheting at all.

Hence went to Rekha's school of fashion design to learn.

 

was confused on what sort of  hooks and yarns I should use.

Remember in crochetting we do not say needles but is refered as "HOOKS"

 

Basically there are two types of hooks one the metal and the other plastic.

So google searched and found the answer, sharing the same with you

Thanks to  http://www.karpstyles.com/crochet/hook-chart.html for providing this useful piece

of information. Hope it is useful. Hence please have this as a ready reckner
