Knitting Needle Sizing Conventions

One of the exciting aspects about looking at knitting patterns on the Internet is that there is access to a massive wide range of different patterns and designs. Not only are these designs and patterns written by designers from around the world, but also there are patterns available on the Internet which were written many years ago, giving a wealth of choice for today’s knitter.

However, as different countries adopt different knitting needle-size descriptions (and countries such as the UK have moved to a metric system) sometimes it can be unclear which needle sizing definitions the instructions are referring to. For instance a vintage knitting pattern might have been written in the UK and therefore uses the old British needle sizes, but this might not be clear from a first glance at the pattern.
