Granny square afghan how much yarn

Each one of us crochets with our tensions and we receive messages asking us how many granny squares people will need to complete their afghans. This answer is unique to each crocheter as the sizing of their afghans and personal tensions can be different. This calculator will factor in your crochet tension with the information that you give me. The calculator will ask you how many inches you want your afghan to be.

In both width and length. Round to the nearest inch. The calculator is processing your square sizes and cross comparing to the size of the afghan you want.

It factors in how many squares to get to the closest measurements in both width and length. It then counts the squares needed to fill it all in. The answer given is how many squares you will need to complete. You can change the sizes and recalculate. Time is precious. You may be pleasantly surprised by adding a few extra rounds on how many fewer squares you may need to finish. Stopping and starting squares fewer times will save you time. I had no idea how many I needed. The caculater really really helps.

So yeah, thank you so much! Thank you and I am super glad this helped. I know there are millions of people on our site but never comment. I appreciate you saying so. The calculator is missing. I am doing a baby blanket out of farmhouse granny squares. The squares are measuring 4 in x4 in. I would like the blanket to be 42 inches squared if possible. Im using Mandala baby by lion brand color wishing well, g, yd. I have 2 skeins.

How many squares will I need? Thank you… We are reprogramming the site this week. Should be on in the next 15 minutes. I have just activated the calculator so you can figure things out. Love this tool. Used it the other day and today the calculator is missing. Is the website under construction? It was funny. I could not find the calculator until when Imwas writing my post, then it appeared right above my comments. Thank you for getting back to me! I have used this site before and now I cannot see the calculator.

My squares are 9 x 9. My afgan needs to be How many squares do I need? I just checked the programming and it seems to be working on this end. I knit mine using Malabrigo Lace yarn. Thanks for the video! It is so easy to follow. I am making a baby blanket for a baby shower gift. This is my first project ever!! Haha wish me luck. Staci, this video was exactly what I needed! I actually learned basic crochet a few years before I learned basic knitting, but had to give up the crochet because it made my hands cramp.

Now I am getting interested in crochet again and I wanted to start with a classic granny square project of some sort. Had forgotten there are so many ways to get from one round to another, chain the corners, etc. Anyway — your process seems the most reasonable to me and I am going to get going on a lightweight scarf or shawl made of 10 bedspread cotton.

Thanks for the clear explanations of the reason you are doing something in a certain way, and the closeup filming of your hands while you work. I can not seem to download the pdf file for this free afghan pattern absolutely love the pattern and colors.

For a full-size blanket, you will need quite a bit of yarn, probably around balls or skeins of yarn. Usually, afghans are very colorful, so you may have one skein of each and, if it's it's really colorful, that can add up. If the blanket only has one or a few colors, it may only be 10 skeins. According to the chart above, you will probably need about — yards , depending on the weight of yarn, the size, and the number of colors in the blanket.

I usually buy one or two extra skeins or balls for the project I'm working on but it's difficult to resist buying everything they have. How I wish you would consider UK crocheters when giving yarn amounts and types of yarn. Our yarn is in 50 or gram balls and yarn weights in 3 or 4 ply, double knit, aran and chunky. We really don't know what worsted weight is!

The one way to go by hook size but even then you seem to use bigger hooks than we do. Please help!!!! I want every lady in my beginners crochet group to down load this.
