HOOKS -Conversion

I used Italian hooks, of course, but in all my patterns I suggested a US correspondent size; these are the tables of "rough" conversion ; infact there is not an exact correspondence between sizes; furthermore each brand differ slightly in numeration; my tip is to try with a hook and if your item (try with a simple granny for yarn or with a couple of rows for thread) is too small or too tight, choose a larger size; viceversa, if your work is too loose or the size too big, try with a smaller hook.
