A 7mm crochet hook has no single standard US letter (between a K-10.5 (6.5mm) and an L-11 (8mm), no standard US letter). It’s typically used for bulky weight yarn; check the mm stamp on the hook itself whenever a pattern’s letter doesn’t match what you expect.

Match bulky weight yarn to this hook for the gauge most patterns expect, then adjust up or down a size if your own tension runs tight or loose. Swatch first for anything that needs to fit.
