Another helpful resource, although very much oriented to knitters and what’s available in the USA only, is https://yarnsub.com/.
If the pattern calls for a specific yarn, and they have it listed (even discontinued yarns), this site can give good guidance on what yarn could be substituted.
Yes, front side of the stiches only will make a significant difference, and a looser fabric.
But it’s also true that as we become more seasoned at crochet our tension will change. If you’re too tight or too loose, definitely do another test swatch with a different hook-size.
Last, while the measurements are for a 4x4” swatch, you really have to have a bigger square to get a true measurement of the tension. The edges do affect things. That’s why, I always go for a 6x6” swatch and measure inside of that.
Google is wrong. Aran is a thicker yarn on average. Worsted is between DK and Aran.
Here’s just the top of the yarn menu from Canada’s largest wool independent store. Wool-Tyme. As we get EU, and UK yarn as well as US, the full range is represented.
Suggest that the OP look through their sizes to see what UK yarns fall under ‘worsted.’
A worsted is a bit finer than an Aran, heavier than a DK.
Knitting with worsted normally gives 20 stitches per 10 cm/4in in stocking stitch. Aran would give 18, DK 22.
With crochet, the hook size and stitch type will make a huge difference. If you use the stated hook with a worsted instead of an Aran weight you’ll have a more open fabric. That may be what you want, especially with a cotton.
Best advice to give is to do a sample of at least 15 by 15 cm / 6 x 6 inches. That will give you a benchmark of the stitch size, the amount of yarn used and the stiffness or drape of the fabric you’re creating.
I’m still seeing this as an active posting, linked on other UN pages e.g.,

However, a similar claim in January was found to be false by fact checking news orgs.
Looks interesting, and an interesting way to work with nuts. Always looking for other GF options and I do use almond flour in a lot of recipes.
That said, while can understand not tolerating gluten free grains such as millet, teff, sorghum, rice or corn, I’m not sure why there aren’t other flours and starches you can work with.
I’m having a hard time understanding why an intolerance would also extend to tubers (potato flour & starch; manioc - cassava flour & tapioca flour; sweet potato flour; arrowroot starch); flower seeds (buckwheat/sarrasin flour) or legumes (Romano, fava or chickpea flour) but not nuts.
So the childhood favourite ‘Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nimh’ was onto something.
I never understood the love they got.
Just another example of indulging Patrick Stewart’s desire to play a character other than the one he was cast as.
Got to admit - my first thought was that it looked somewhat indecent.
Well there’s that too.
Gene found it totally cool for previously unmentioned immediate family to show up out of the blue, but fans can’t help going into spasms when things not previously mentioned show up.
A lot of what fans think is canon just isn’t anyway. Most so-called ‘violations’ are just different interpretations of what was shown on screen decades ago.
There’s an entire list out there of all the headcanon that fans hold up that just isn’t supported by what’s on screen.
Writers shouldn’t be held to fan interpretations of what they thought they saw in TOS or TNG.
In other words, fans who clearly live in glass canon houses shouldn’t throw stones.
The article suggests that the environment plays a significant role in gasturlation, especially the chemistry.
If identical twins develop in the same uterine environment, there would be greater likelihood of the same genes expressing.
