I always need a knitting needles size conversion chart. A couple of times, my test knitters reported mistakes in my conversions and it troubled me because they were based either on what I could find on the Web or on those little needle sizing tools. It made me curious. After some research, I found that there is indeed a convention but erroneous charts are also widely used. I couldn’t find one chart that would include all sizes and respect the convention so I created this one based on hours of research, including all officially converted sizes and several less common sizes. I hope it will help you!
