Size 8 crochet hook is a small steel hook. The thread probably was about a 10.
My suggestion is to make a swatch and check your gauge carefully. If you are on gauge, you will be right on.

Knit Cro Sheen was also used quite a bit years ago for those older patterns. This is a slightly thicker thread. Not sure if it's still being made at this point.

Good luck with your project. Linda
