This is where gauge plays a role. You crochet at least a 4×4 inch swatch. The swatch will tell you how many stitches are made for that yarn and crochet hook. You will need to have a basic understanding of increasing to modify. This means you may have more stitches in a round than the original pattern to compensate for the smaller yarn or smaller crochet hook.
