Crochet Industry Associations
- Craft Yarn Council – How large a baby blanket should be versus a standard blanket? What’s the dimensions of a size 6 sweater? The Craft Yarn Council website can answer these questions regarding standard measurements and more. As their website states, “The publishers, fiber, needle and hook manufacturers and yarn members of the Craft Yarn Council have worked together to set up a series of guidelines and symbols to bring uniformity to yarn, needle and hook labeling and to patterns, whether they appear in books, magazines, leaflets or on yarn labels.”
- American Crochet Association – This website contains educational resources to help crocheters learn standard crochet skills as well as professional training. I highly recommend the ACA Learning Path which reviews crochet fundamentals and practices
- Crochet Guild of America – The Crochet Guild of America provides education resources while setting the national standard for crochet.
