Hi Friends! I hope you enjoy the video. I get this question a lot regarding yarn amounts so I thought I would show you how I figure it out. It's very simple and I've had good results with it. But if this is not your thing, be sure to watch the end of the video where I share alternative options. xx

Well, this definitely beats my method of just guessing and hoping for the best lol…which has never worked. Thanks! I’m excited to try this out! Would love more videos on it with other types of stitches and projects too. Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend!

I'm ecstatic! I've been designing crochet for magazines for 35 years, and you have shown me some extremely valuable tools for my continuing work! I hadn't thought of using weight to determine yardage needed. Brilliant. I was stuck with my formula: X number of yards = X number of stitches/rows. Old dog, new tricks. Thank You!!

@PlayHookywithMe

Great , Angela. 😀 Yes, patterns provide yarn details. But often , crocheters want to change the size smaller or larger or they are just learning the stitch itself so this helps to figure it out. Have a great week and happy 4th! ❤️

I totally agree Roz with your response because years ago when I started to learn crochet which was in junior school , it was just make a chain , form a ring and crochet in the round over & over. As I got older I learned how to read and understand patterns and then went on to teach seniors and young adults . I believe in your tutorials , because I always learn something new . Even when you think you've got it all 😍 Have a wonderful day.

Roz to the rescue again! What a timely video! I want to make a bedspread but wanted to make sure I have enough yarn before getting started! Now, if you can only help me with a solution for the slightly different color of the lots of the same color yarn. I couldn't afford to buy all the yarn at once so I got what I could afford as I could afford it. I didn't realize until I made my last bedspread just how different of a color the different lots are. I know the easy solution is to do stripes but I want a solid color bedspread. Since washing the last bedspread the different lots are blending together better but that one was a speckled yarn and the one I want to make is solid, one color cotton yarn. I hope to be able to give this bedspread as a gift. Thank you for making my crocheting projects easy for me! Oh and do you have that chart available for printing out? I would love to save that to my bulletin board! Please and thank you!

Oh , what a shame on the dye lot . The only thing I can recommend really is to use the balls at the same time. Meaning , work a couple of rows with one ball, switch to the next ball for the next 2 rows and so on. This way, your eyes will blend the shades and make it more difficult to notice the color shift. It will be more tedious but that’s what I would do if it were me. I’ve added the list of sizes in the description box below as a Google document . 💕
