Do you need knitting needles to crochet?
No, you can only crochet with a crochet hook. Answer Crochet is done with crochet hooks (they come in many sizes) not knitting neeldes. But you can also use your fingers (finger crochet) or there is also some thing called Knooking which uses a tool that has a crochet hook on one end and a knitting needle point on the other.
How do you crochet wrist warmers?
First, you need to make a chain of 24 stitches. (or however many looks like a good fit by putting the chain around your wrist) I always chain loosely, making it easier to work back in the stitches later. Chain 1 and turn. Next, working in the back bumps of the chain, single crochet in all the stitches across. (A teacher showed me that working in the bumps on the back of the chain, gives you a finished edge on the end of the piece.) Chain 1 and turn. Then, double crochet in all of the stitches across. (I like using double crochet for this piece. It's a longer stitch, so it gives a little wiggle room in the warmers, but not too much where all the cold air would come in.) Chain 1 and turn. Make 11 rows of double crochets, chaining 1 and turning at the end of each row. (Add more rows if you want it to go further down your wrist. I suggest making the one for your other hand now, just to make sure they are the same. Then finish them at the same time. After the 11th row of double crochets, chain1 and turn. Single crochet in all the stitches across, again creating the finished edge. Chain 1, then cut the piece free, making sure to leave a tail to sew in later. You should now have a rectangle piece, that can be wrapped around your hand.

How many stiches do you need to crochet a chevron stitch?
A chevron stitch in crochet is a wavy line. This is formed in multiple of from 6 to 12 stitches. The top is formed by increasing, the bottom is formed by decreasing. Another word for chevron might be ripple stitch. There are hundreds of different ways to make a ripple. To decide how many stitches you need, you need to decide what pattern you are going to make. The top of the ripple is called the hill and the bottom is the valley. The hill is generally formed by increasing as noted above. The valley can be formed by decreasing or it can be formed by skipping stitches. The number of stitches used to form the valley can vary as can the number of stitches skipped. Before figuring your foundation chain, you need to decide how many stitches you want between hill and valley. I discuss figuring out the foundation chain for a ripple at Crochet Cabana, using the skip stitch method, but the same general idea could be used for another method. Generally, once you know what you want, it is fairly straight forward to figure out how many stitches you need to begin with. Don't forget to account for turning chains.

How many yards of yarn does it take to crochet a twin size afghan using an H hook and single crochet stitches?
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result. With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.
How many single crochet stitches with a 5.5ml hook in a size 7.5 hat?
It depends on the size of yarn you're using (thicker less stitches and thin more stitches) and what your crochet tension is (gauge). Usually a pattern will indicate how many stiches should be in an inch. If not, single crochet an inch or two with the hook and yarn you intend to use and then measure an inch and count how many stiches are in that inch. If your pattern does not have a gauge for a size 7.5 hat, I'd use your 1 inch crocheted gauge square to measure around and up a size 7.5 hat you already know fits and use multiplication from those results to determine stiches per row and how many rows. If you're talking size
