Does this crochet hook set have all of the sizes?

Question

I am looking at a crochet hook set on amazon.com and would like to know if it has all of the hook sizes. The set I am looking at has hook sizes: 4, J/10, 8, 2, E/4, F/6, G/7, D/3, H/8, I/9, K/10.5, 14, 0, 1, 11, 13, 9, 6, 5, 3, 12, 10, 00, 7, and I just want to know if that is all of the hook sizes or only most of them.

The link to the set is: http://www.amazon.com/Boye-Size-00-14-Crochet-Master-Kit/dp/B00168291I/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1219002001&sr=8-3

Answer 1

Your better off getting the sizes you need. Unless your working with all sizes of yarn and crochet cotton ;)))

Answer 2

What you really want to do is line up all the numbers in order.  Make yourself a checklist with numbers 00,0, 1,2,3, etc, all the way to 14.  Look through the list -- ignore the letters and use the numbers given -- and check each one off as you go.  See which are included.  

This kit does not include absolutely all available sizes of crochet hooks, no matter what's included.  There are tinier and larger ones than what's listed here, even if nothing's missing from the middle. I'd safely say that most of the commonly-used sizes are here, however.

Check out the patterns you'd be using (if it's not for you, ask the person for whom it's intended what his or her most commonly-used hook sizes would be.  Then you'd know which set to get.  You can buy sets of just the big hooks or just the tiny ones, which would have a better range of huge or tiny than an assorted set like this would.

Answer 3

If you're planning to work with thread, this is a reasonable set, although it lacks the two finest hooks, 15 and 16.  It also lacks the two smallest yarn hooks, B/1 and C/2, although it has all the other usual size yarn hooks, unless you plan to work with more than 2 worsted strands or one bulky strand of yarn at a time.  Sizes above K are generally not sold in kits, but are individually sold, those are M, P, S, and then hand-carved wood ones.  It's a reasonable price for the set, plus it has a case.
