    I found this pattern but cannot find the hook sizes in the Internet. Are the hooks known by another name in the U.S.?

      Crochet hooks come in two classifications: yarn hooks and steel hooks. I am using steel hooks as steel hooks are designed to be used with crochet cotton threads. They have sizing range from 00(3.5mm), which is the largest, to 14 (.75mm), the smallest.
