I inevitably have to look up that measurement and figure out which of my hooks correlates with that millimeter size.<\/p>\n<p>I used to get online every time I needed a conversion and look for a chart, then I finally got smart and downloaded a chart that I can keep on hand to reference quickly.

Put it in your crochet basket with your current projects or in your pouch with your hooks so you never have to wonder which size hook you need again!
