The Yarn
This was my first yarn purchase from Hobby Lobby. I decided to buy the store brand Yarn Bee.
The self striping yarn Sugarwheel Cotton caught my eye and color choice was an easy one: the local University’s color is purple, so I went with it. It’s called “Honey, It’s Homemade”.
LIGHTWEIGHT SPRING AND SUMMER SHAWL
Luna is a lightweight versatile shawl which will keep you warm during chilly Spring and Summer evenings. You can wear it as a scarf as well to add an unique touch to any outfit during colder months.
Since you like the LUNA SHAWL, these might interest you too?
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.

Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are blocked.
- 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.
