Monica Knits

My crochet needles range in size from 0.6 mm to 10.0 mm. From size 2.00 mm and larger, they are Aero (Abel Morrall Ltd., Redditch England, now Coats & Clark Canada Inc.) Sizes 2.00 mm - 5.00mm are aluminum and the larger sizes hard plastic. The smaller crochet needles are steel, mostly manufactured in Mexico (IMRA, S.A.), with a smattering of U.S., English and Canadian needles. Attached please find a cross-reference table from metric (mm) to US sizes, for the needles I use.

I use crochet needles for both crochet and knitting projects. If a knit project requires sewing seams, I will either crochet them, design them out or use a Kitchener stitch, as appropriate. The crocheted seam is faster, compact, looks professional and can be quickly "unzipped", if need be.
