THE PERFECT EASY CROHET SHAWL

This easy crochet shawl is the perfect shawl for any season. Don’t get fooled by the snow in the picture above, this cotton shawl actually works best when it’s not too cold.

However, I would definitely make one for winter, just change it up with some warm yarn.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?

---

How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
