Question
Rubik
I have a metal crochet hook which I think is quite old and belonged to my grandmother. It is double-ended and says 0/3 on one end and 0/5 on the other end. As much as I've googled it and searched through all my crochet books I can't seem to find a definitive guide to tell me what size these are!
I'm nearly 8 months pregnant now and recently made a cake without flour (I knew something was wrong when it was still liquid after an hour in the oven!) so this could well be baby-brain at work...
By comparing it with my other hooks the 0/5 looks about the same size as my 2.5mm hook so I checked the 0/3 against the 2mm hook but it is much bigger than a 2mm hook.
So 0/5 is (approx) 2.5mm and 0/3 is bigger than 2mm but smaller than 2.5mm. I wonder if it could be 2.25mm but I can't see anywhere that 0/3 is even a crochet hook size at all. I'm probably missing something very simple here!
This is going to keep me awake all night! Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas!
