I’m sure this will come in handy!
This certainly would be helpful when you want to do your own thing and not follow someone else’s pattern.

How small do knitting needles go? I’ve only gone as small as a number 1, but they go to 00000. Once place I read they go to 8 zero’s. Can’t imagine what they would be like. Below the first link is to a chart of needle sizes and how they differ from country to country and some times a manufacturer makes a difference.
The formula for placing increases and decreases come from the same Ann Budd web site as the information regarding changing gauges.
