If it's a bulky yarn then you should use hook size H and up. If it's thinner then stick to the smaller size hooks. If your hook is too small then the yarn will not fit on the hook and it may snag on the hook as your working.

∙ 10y agoIt would depend on the gauge you are trying to obtain. #8 crochet thread generally works up best with small steel hooks in sizes like 1.0-2.25mm but you could produce a lace with a nice drape using a larger hook, such as a 3.5mm or even 4.0mm or 5.0mm. If you have the time, make small swatches using various sized hooks and put them in a scrapbook for future reference.

Can you get a size 50 Metric Crochet Hook?
It's not totally clear here what you are asking. If you are asking if you can get a 50mm (approximately 2 inches) crochet hook, I think you could--but what are you making that would need a broomstick-sized hook? Are you looking to find a "size 59 metric crochet hook"? It wouldn't be easy, the largest hook I've seen has been a size 'Q' which is 15mm. If you want one bigger, you would have to build it yourself, would be my guess.

00 is a steel hook size. Manufacturers vary in their mm sizing. I found 00 hooks listed as 2.75 to 3.5mm If you have a particular hook and you need to know the mm sizing of it, I suggest you purchase a Crochet Hook Size Gauge Tool. The knitting needle ones do not give accurate sizing for a crochet hook. Annie's Attic sells these and I'm sure other stores do as well.
