The Yarn
The yarn base for this yarn is called Airy & is a chained yarn, that makes anything you crochet with it light while still offering density.
What I’m most excited about is the fact that the yarn used is my own hand dyed yarn & it’s my first pattern using Joy of Motion Yarn.
The variegated yarn colors pictured is “Brevann” & “Dypt Hav”. Both names refers to sea & water, where “Brevann” means glacial water & “Dypt Hav” means deep sea!

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.

Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into prev “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook. Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches.
*2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.

Crocheted with the exact same steps as a normal half double crochet, however you’ll only insert the hook in the front loop of the stitch.
