How long does it take to crochet it?
The time it takes to crochet varies depending on your skills and how quickly you crochet. But that’s not a helpful answer, is it?
Well, I have developed a spinning calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
This will help you calculate exactly how much time you will spend designing a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you are going to use in the project whether in meters, yards, or skeins. Then crochet your test square and timing it.

- Note that the measurements are given as accurate as possible. But the tension and technique of crochet may give variations in the result, changing from person to person.
- Read the pattern instructions carefully before you start to make sure you understand everything. It may save you hours!
- Make a measuring stand that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is provided for. If your swatch matches the scale, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you may need to change the hook. Go up in the crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller and go down in the crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger (more details).
