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.

Gauge


Measured with half double crochet stitches crocheted in rounds:

14 stitches & 11 rounds per 10 cm / 4”.

Notes 


  • This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
  • All measurements given are unblocked.
  • Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
  • Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
  • 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.
  • Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
  • This pattern is written for 9 sizes, where the different sizes is given in parentheses like this: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Size & Measurements”.
  • At the end of each round, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.

Finishing The Yoke

Fasten off & cut yarn.

Body

On the first round of the body you will split the stitch count from the yoke in several parts, to make the 2 armholes & the body. The 2 short sides will end up as the 2 armholes, while the 2 long sides will end up as a part of the body stitch count.

In addition you will make 4 FSC stitches on each side that will end up on the bottom of the armholes & these 4+4 stitches will also be included in the stitch count for each specific part. 8 on the body & 4 on each armhole.

The body is crocheted in spiral without ending rounds except the first round.

PM in each dc stitch made in corners on the last round of the yoke. These stitches are included in the body stitch count.

Continue after the last round of the yoke.  Attach thread in the last stitch on the long side of the yoke, in a marked dc made in the corner.

Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st), PM in 2nd ch, FSC 4 st*, sk the whole short side of the yoke to make the first armhole (32 (40) 46 (52) 60 (66) 72 (78) 86 st), hdc 1 in a marked dc made in the next corner, hdc 1 in all st on the long side, hdc 1 in a marked dc made in the corner, FSC 4 st, sk the whole short side of the yoke to make the second armhole (32 (40) 46 (52) 60 (66) 72 (78) 86 st), hdc 1 in a marked dc made in the next corner, hdc in all the stitches on the long side, sl st in ch from beg of round (= 104 (120) 132 (144) 160 (172) 184 (196) 212 st).

*The 4 FSC stitches will work as an extension & will end up as the bottom of the armhole. After crocheting 4 FSC stitches you will skip the whole short side of the yoke &  continue working directly on the long side of the yoke.

Round 2:  Hdc in next st, PM, hdc 1 in all st until you reach PM (= 104 (120) 132 (144) 160 (172) 184 (196) 212 st).

Round 3- 36: Rep round 2.

SLEEVE EDGING:

Repeated 2 times on both sides.

Please note that the instruction for the short sleeves doesn’t have to be made exact. It’s important to try on the garment & adjust how many stitches you need to decrease to make them fit you perfectly.

This could mean that you will only do sc2tog in every other stitch or every third stitch on round 1.

With the right side facing, attach yarn in the 3rd FSC under the arm (one of the middle FSC stitches made).

Round 1: Ch 2, hdc2tog in all st around the short side of the yoke, hdc2tog in the last 2 FSC,  sl st in 1st st  (=19 (23) 26 (29) 33 (36) 39 (42) 46 st).

Round 2: Ch 2, dc 1 in all st until end of round, sl st in 1st st (=19 (23) 26 (29) 33 (36) 39 (42) 46 st).

Round 3: Ch 2, FPdc 1 in all st until end of round, sl st in 1st st (=19 (23) 26 (29) 33 (36) 39 (42) 46 st).

Fasten off & cut yarn.
