Slip Stitch Twist Headband – FREE Crochet Pattern

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 our own Joy of Motion Yarn.

The variegated colorway pictured is “Dypt Hav” & it’s a 100 % merino yarn.

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.
