Tool Size Chart

A Free Printable Knitting Needle and Crochet Hook Size Chart

Never get confused by needle or hook sizes again! This free printable tool size chart is a comprehensive reference guide for knitters and crocheters, covering knitting needle sizes and crochet hook sizes across UK, US, and metric measurements – all on one handy page.

Whether your tools come from different countries or you’re following an international pattern, this tool size chart makes it simple to find the correct size. As a result, your stitches, tension, and finished projects turn out exactly as intended.

Why Every Maker Needs This Reference Guide

Different countries use different sizing systems, which can make following international patterns frustrating. For example, a UK size 8 knitting needle is not the same as a US size 8.

It’s therefore an essential reference for anyone who works with needles or hooks regularly.
