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.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

- Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger.

We try our best to include all crochet abbreviations in the list above for the crochet pattern, but sometimes we may forget one or two.
Learn more about crochet abbreviations & find a complete list on our Crochet Abbreviations & Terms post.
Stitches You Will Need
TUNISIAN DOUBLE CROCHET (Tdc):
Yo, insert hook in next stitch, yo and pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2.
Each time you repeat, you’ll add 1 extra loop on the hook.
Techniques You Will Need
STANDARD TUNISIAN RETURN (return):
Yo, pull through 1, *yo, pull through 2*, repeat from *to* until you have 1 loop on the hook.
WHERE IS THE FRONT VERTICAL BAR?
After crocheting the first return pass, you should be able to see distinct vertical bars. One in the front of the work (the front vertical bar) & one in the back (the back vertical bar).
CROCHET IN NEXT SPACE
Refers to the space (hole) made by a yarn over on the previous row.
You should then insert the hook in the space when crocheting the stitch instructed to “crochet in next space”.
INTARSIA:
To crochet intarsia means that you will work with 2 or more colors on the same row, but in separate sections. That means you don’t have to let the yarn you’re not working with follow along behind or inside the crochet stitch.
On forward passes: When you come to the place where you’ll change color, let go of the yarn and continue with the next color.
On return passes:
Crochet with the same color until you have one loop left on the hook with that color.
Move the new working strand & skein to the front of the work under the strand you just worked with and over to the back again. Then continue the return pass with the new color.
Repeat the next time you need to change color.
