The Yarn
For this winter shawl crochet pattern the suggested yarn is Caron – Chunky Cakes.
This self striping yarn comes in many lovely color gradients, from muted colors to bright.
One of the positives about using cakes like this, is that you don’t have to weave in a lot of ends & the color changes just runs smoothly & gradually through the shawl.

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.
