The Yarn
To crochet this shawl I used 100 % cotton yarn, from 3 brands.
3 brands? You don’t necessarily need to do that too, it was just the yarn I had available.
All 3 has the exact same yardage & thickness. A perfect match.

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.
