You’re going to love the crochet Autumn Leaves Shawl. It’s a fun one skein wonder & it’s a great introduction to Tunisian crochet.

Personally this is the second project I’ve made with Tunisian crochet & I’m hooked!

This shawl is perfect for fall & because of that it got it’s name Autumn Leaves Shawl, plus the name of the yarn color it “Høstløv” which also means autumn leaves.

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. Learn more about testing gauge.
