When you want to crochet something superfine like lace, you need a special range of hooks. These Susan Bates Steelite hooks have hardly changed in design in over 100 years, because they are the perfect lace tool! They're also popular in larger sizes like 0 and 00 as repair hooks for knitting, and in the extremely fine sizes like 11/12 and 13/14 for adding beads to your work with the pickup method. Size 11/12 works well for most size 6/0 beads and size 13/14 works well for most size 8/0 beads.
