Substituting Crochet Hooks?

There is a pattern using a size H crochet hook. The closest I have to that size is a size I hook - do you think it would be alright if I used the I hook? or will it come out weird?

Substituting Crochet Hooks?
There is a .5mm difference between the two needles. If you have a ruler handy look at it and you will see what the difference would be. Depending on what you are making you may want to check with your pattern and see what the difference is if you make it one size smaller.
Reply:Since the 'I' hook is slightly larger, your project will end up larger. Since I don't know what you are making I don't have just one answer. If it is an afghan or a scarf, no problem at all, it'll just end up larger. If you are making an article of clothing it might turn out loose or even to large, depending on what size you are making, and you might need to make the next size smaller. If you are making a small project, just tighten up your tension to keep to gauge.
Reply:Just acquire the same measurements for the I hook that is given for the H hook, and remember to maintain it throughout the project or if it is okay for your project to be 1/4 inch larger, all is well with the I hook.
Reply:The hook may be ok. You can always adjust how loose or tight you crochet. Follow the gauge guide that starts off most patterns.
