Crochet hook sizes can be confusing. I consider myself an intermediate crocheter and I still get mixed up. Here is a hook size conversion chart for easy reference.

When in doubt or if I don't have the right size of hook I tend to experiment and do some calculations. Keep in mind the thicker the yarn the higher the hook.
Another handy tool for crocheting is a ruler. With kids in the house we have several but they disappear constantly (kind of like socks in the dryer). Here is a fantastic link to an online ruler that adjusts to fit your screen: Online Ruler.
