If I were to buy a 5mm crochet hook, would my crochet work still curl?
-
On the 8ply yarn that I bought, it recommended to use a 4mm crochet hook, but there were none available so I bought a 4.5mm crochet hook. I used it to crochet a square but it curled in. If I were to buy a 5mm crochet hook using the same 8ply yarn to crochet a square, do you think it would still curl?

Answer:
There's not enough information provided to lead to an accurate answer. It would help if specific information were provided: 1. Did you block your square? Often, the blocking process will be all that is needed to make it lie flat. 2. Are the stitches in the square excessively dense, indicating that you crochet with excessively tight tension? If so, then yes, a larger hook will help. If not, the larger hook won't help. 3. Will this square stand alone or will it be joined to other squares to make a larger project? If it's to be joined to other squares, the joining process will flatten the motifs. 4. Does this curling happen with other yarns and hooks that you use, or is it unique to this yarn and hook? If it's unique, it may be the yarn that's "at fault" rather than the hook. The twist and plying (or not) of some yarns make them more prone to biasing in knitting and curling in crocheting. A different stitch pattern or different orientation of the directions of stitches may be the remedy for a specific yarn.

Not sure what you mean by curl.Usually the size of the hook only makes the stitches bigger or smaller.are you using a pattern to make something?if so look to see what the pattern recomends for the project And the kind of yarn recomended.sorry couldn't help more.Sounds like it may be how loose or tight The stitches are you are crocheting.But would almost have to see it to know.

the only reason crochet curls is because you are crocheting to tightly loosen up your grip and it will turn out fine
