Hello once again,

As the club's unofficial researcher, I just could not help myself. So here
is a list of the number of chains in a turning chain to use with different
stitches.

Turning Chain Lengths

The length of the turning chain depends on the height of the stitch you are
crocheting. Tall stitches require more chains; short stitches require fewer
chains.

Here are suggestions for turning chain lengths for the most 
basic crochet stitches.
 Note that these are only suggestions; feel free to use a turning chain of
any length that achieves your objective for the project you are crocheting.
