It appears that in the UK hook sizing uses a numbering system (which is different than the physical metric size of the hook), which runs from 14 to 000--smallest to largest.

In the US, "aluminum" hooks are lettered, beginning with "A" as the smallest hook and going on through the alphabet, generally with a "P" being the largest (although, I do believe that I have seen a pattern requesting a size "S"!).

I have attached URLs which have charts to use for converting into US hook sizes.

How do you single and double crochet?

The following is the American meaning of double crochet. The British system would call this stitch a treble. A British d.c. is an American single crochet. Double crochet is one of the three basic stitches of crochet: chain, single crochet and double crochet. To make a double crochet: 1. Put the working yarn over the hook (this is called a "yarn over"). 2. Insert the hook in the next stitch in the row below. 3. Yarn over again and pull that yarn over back out through the stitch. There are now three loops on the hook. 4. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the first two looks on the hook. Two loops remain on the hook. 5. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the remaining two loops. When you finish a row and turn, start a row of double crochet by first chaining three stitches. This chain-3 counts as the first stitch of the row. For a single crochet, chain only one to start a new row.
