Crochet size and conversion charts
The crochet charts collect the reference numbers crocheters look up most: standard blanket dimensions, hat circumference and height by age, hook size conversions, yarn weight categories, US and UK term equivalents, and chart symbols. The yardage tables are computed estimates, and each chart states the method or source behind its figures.

What are standard crochet blanket sizes?
Standard crochet blanket sizes range from a 10 × 10 inch lovey to a 108 × 90 inch king. A throw is usually about 50 × 60 inches and a baby blanket about 30 × 35 to 36 × 36 inches.
The blanket size chart lists every standard size in inches and centimetres, and the yardage chart estimates yarn needed at each size.
How do you use crochet size charts?
Use a size chart to set the finished dimensions before you calculate stitches. Blanket charts give standard sizes from lovey to king; hat charts give head circumference and hat height by age, and most crocheted hats are made slightly smaller than the head so they stretch to fit; baby, scarf and sock charts work the same way. Measure the person where possible and use the chart as a check.
Conversion charts translate hook sizes between metric, US and old UK systems, map yarn weight names used in different countries, and pair US and UK stitch terms. The yardage and granny-square charts are calculated estimates — each states its method — so add a margin when you buy yarn.
