Needle and Hook Size Chart - Metric and US Sizes
At Joeriaknits, we show both the metric and US sizing for all of our knitting needles and crochet hooks listed in our shop. Both US and metric sizing also appears on the packaging and on all the hooks and needles. If you inherited needles and hooks from your mother or grandmother, they might only show US or even European sizing. Canada went metric on April 1, 1975 and for some of us who grew up with the US imperial measurements we tend to rely on both measurements.
