1. Crochet abbreviations chart

Although not technically a crochet size chart, crochet abbreviations are the back bone of crochet. Whether you’re diving into a new pattern or writing your own, it’s always helpful to have some of the most common crocheting abbreviations handy. Generally, abbreviations are given at the beginning of a book or pattern. However, it’s always good to familiarize yourself with terms used in crochet.

2. Crochet US/ UK conversions chart.

I’ve been crocheting for a really long time. When I started exploring with crochet patterns, imagine my confusion when I realized that  US and UK basic stitches, although the same, are called different names. That means there’s one set of basic stitches worldwide but there are two sets of names for them. You will want to know whether a pattern uses US or UK terms before starting it, and having this chart won’t hurt either.

3. Crochet hook conversion chart

Crochet hook sizing is important. However, just like basic crochet stitches, how hook sizes are indicated may vary. Below, I will show you all the US sizes of hooks, and their Metric and UK equivalents in the crochet size hook conversion chart.

4. Hat sizing chart.

This isn’t just a sizing chart with a few measurements – it explains how to size crochet hats, crochet hat size formula, recommended number of stitches to begin your round and 11 different size guidelines based on age. These measurements are geared for people of various ages. A little detail goes a long way! (Bonus, they can be helpful for making headbands, too.)
