There really isn’t a “normal” size hook to use with it. I have seen different patterns that call for many different sizes of hooks with size 3 crochet thread.If you subsitute a different thread and hook size, whatever you’re crocheting will end up a different size than the original pattern, so be sure to take that into account.

It shouldn’t matter how you hold the hook. I’ve seen different methods. But it’s all about whatever is most comfortable for you. http://www.learntoknit.com has crochet instructions. Maybe you can find something there.

If you are using the same pattern, and it is for a doily type article, you just use the right crochet needle for the yarn you purchase. The information is on the side of the yarn label..If the item you are making is a sweater, you need to recalculate the information to make it the right size to fit. You crochet a 4 x 4 square, measure it, and figure out the difference in stitch numbers compared to the gauge of your original pattern. Then you need to go through the pattern and rewrite it with your gauge calculations. It is complicated!I used a thread doily pattern and cotton yarn to make some lovely placemats, and they went pretty fast, and look great.

Normally, crochet thread is mostly Size 10, or bedspread, as it is also known. For Monaco Thread check this site out:http://crochetthreadsandmore.blogspot.com/2006/01/monaco-cotton-threads-and-shipping.htmlHere’s a page that has info about Cannon:http://mimi.csa.googlepages.com/cottonthreadshttp://www.nationalbookstore.com/shop/products.asp?merchant_code=NBS&categ=297&product=13878And yes, Cannon is apparently Size 8 thread, but check your gauge before you start a project.Now, THIS SITE here has tons of thread AND yarn:http://www.herrschners.com/default.aspx(their thread)http://www.herrschners.com/depts/id-1954.htmlso does Moda Dea:http://www.modadea.com/index.htmHope this helps!

dark red, orange, brown, dark green, and I think that royal blue would look very pretty too

I would assume that you crochet with it as you would any other yarn/thread. I tried looking on the web for something talking specifically about crocheting with gold thread, but I couldn’t find much. What I would suggest is holding a strand of the gold thread along with a coordinating color (beige wool, for instance) and crocheting with them both held together, thus using the gold thread as an accent (that’s what I do). Or if you want to crochet an accessory out of it, you could use the gold thread to crochet a small flower or two for a pair of earrings. Be creative. Crochet with it however you want to, whatever you think looks best.

I have thought using that too. But apparently the string used for candles are treated somehow so they burn slowly and I was told to only use candle wicking and nothing else.

You can crochet anything you want. Try doing a swatch of single crochet and a swatch of double crochet so you can learn how it looks and feels at this size. Basically, anything you can adjust the size of can be done in thread if you don’t mind doing more and finer stitches. The thread will give a lighter, finer appearance to anything you do with it. Don’t be afraid of it just because it is small. You’ll need a small hook to go with it. Officially, I think you’re supposed to have a #1 or #2 hook or something, but I’ve used #0 and #00 successfully for many things. It comes out a bit looser, but it’s much quicker to crochet if the pattern is not fussy. Here are some of the things I’ve used it for: http://www.wikihow.com/Crochet-a-Granny-Rectangle-Scarfhttp://www.wikihow.com/Crochet-a-Toy-Hammockhttp://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Crochet-and-Paper-Valentine-CardI‘ve also used some purple variegated stuff for an iPod cozy. There’s no pattern for my particular version online, but there are plenty you could imitate. I also used it for the fins on this guy. I still have not posted the pattern for it, but I still intend to, someday.http://www.flickr.com/photos/dvortygirl/3416036020/in/set-72157616304281679/I’m sure if you look around you could find or adjust patterns for any of a number of things. Try place mats, coasters, hats, wash cloths, or miniature face cloths or makeup remover cloths. Entire tablecloths have been made out of crocheted motifs, or you could probably complete a runner much more quickly. You could even try a larger bag, but that may take time.If you have small scraps left over at the end, try hearts and stars, and things of that sort. Starch them well, and hang them as ornaments.Finally, some of what you find it may smack of “bookmarks-and-doilies” but you might try looking up filet crochet and see what you find.

You could draw up the loop on your crochet hook large enough to slip the ball of yarn through so that you are in essence making a slip knot.

Take this information to the math site of answers and see if any one there can help you. I have a spool of size 10 thread and it weighs 7 ounces and holds 1000 yards.. See if someone there can get you close to the amount you need. When I say close you can always buy more and take back the unused ball of thread for a refund.

You can try asked some of the company in this website:

When you sc into a stitch, unless the pattern tells you to work in the front or the back of the loop, you work under both sides of the loop. Different patterns and textures use both or one or the other, but, in general, if your pattern does not say to work under the front or back, you will work under both. Working under one side or the other gives you a raised pattern on the surface of the crochet.

I found this one using a search engine: http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53451 It uses a size 3 steel hook, so you should be able to use #10 crochet thread doubled. Or you could do the bikini bottom from this pattern: http://www.crochetnmore.com/fashiondollbikini.htm .You can find free Barbie crochet patterns at http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/barbie_fashion.php
