Crochet

Thread sizes

I have several balls of Aunt Lydia's Giant Crochet, 400 yards, 100% Mercerized Cotton, ART. 150 and I am trying to determine the actual thread size. Is there a chart somewhere that tells you the size of various manufactures and types of of threads? Or does anyone know this information?

Working on a Pineapple and Spider Web design tablecloth

If anybody can help I have a pattern that calls for: 1sc over end of ch loop, 1 sc in next sc. Would it be possible that someone could somehow tell me how this is done as I really enjoy the pattern and I'm doing it as a gift for a friend of mine for her birthday.

Thanking you all in advance

Doug

Please someone help me! How do you figure out the right hook, yarn weight and tension to make your project the correct size. I know you are supposed to go up or down in hook size depending on your tension. That does not always work. How do I figure in yarn weight and ply with hook size. My stuff always comes out to big.
