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!
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ I have learned the hard way that I need to figure out how much yarn I need before I start I have had to take a lot of projects apart.😢
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!!
I use 3 skeins for a lap blanket. If I doing amigurumi then I use one skein per color. If I make a big blanket I use 4 skeins. I wing it. Lol I love this tutorial
Hahaha. I’ve just been buying what I think or looking on the cover on the yarn. I figure if I get a little more I can make something else or put in “scrap” bag..
Hello Roz... Its always good to learn something new for future projects, but whenever i work on something the pattetn always say how much yarn to buy . Have a blessed day with the boys and a happy 4th of july .
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.
Wonderful reference guide, Roz. I am a gram person too. Baking bread led me there and I sort of stuck with it for everything. It's very accurate. Great video.💖
Roz, when I start a gauge swatch, if my starting chain doesn't measure the width I'm going for, I switch hooks right then. Is that the right thing to do? Thanks! Mariane
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 . 💕

Hahaha -I can relate. Glad you enjoyed the video 😀💕 Have a great week!
Or my method of buying more yarn I could possibly need to make three of the items, figuring I can probably use the yarn eventually.
@@ann-mariemeyers9978 Lol! Yep, I’ve done that too.
Thanks for showing this. Super brilliant
Thank you 😀❤️
Great video.
Thank you
Saving to share whenever someone asks in facebook groups.
Awesome, thank you 💕
This is very helpful and you made it look so easy! Reminds me of the 'math story problems' in school eons ago😊
I remember those! 😆👏🏻 I’m glad , it really is as easy as it looks 💕
Thanks that’s a great simple method to calculate how much yarn is needed for a project, thanks for the great tips always 🌹
Thank you so much 😀💕
Would very much like to see a video on how to figure out how much needed for other types of projects and colors
Great 👏🏻💕
Very well explained! Thank you. 🦋
Thanks so much ❤️
Thank you so much, you’re a great teacher ❣️
Lion Brand has a chart that’s helpful too.
Awesome, thank you for the tip! ❤️
Thanks this is great information!
Glad it was helpful! 👏🏻💕
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ I have learned the hard way that I need to figure out how much yarn I need before I start I have had to take a lot of projects apart.😢

@@PlayHookywithMe yes! Thx a mil. It’s gorgeous
I use 3 skeins for a lap blanket. If I doing amigurumi then I use one skein per color. If I make a big blanket I use 4 skeins. I wing it. Lol I love this tutorial
Nothing wrong with winging it, I say! 😆👏🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I say wing it lo
I love your videos they bring me some good techniques ideas
@@debrawolleycrochet thank you !
Hahaha. I’ve just been buying what I think or looking on the cover on the yarn. I figure if I get a little more I can make something else or put in “scrap” bag..
I like the way you think, scrap blankets are always a fun project 🙌🏻😍
@@PlayHookywithMe can’t wait!
Oh!! A gauge swatch 😬 I always weigh my yarn, start my project (do a row or block etc), then weigh my yarn again. 😂
😆👏🏻💕
You explain great thanks
Very useful thank you !!!
Thanks

@@angelabirkett9671 beautiful ❤️ I always appreciate your guidance and knowledge ❤️
@@PlayHookywithMeAwwww thanks so much Roz 👍🙏💓💖
thank you so much! this will help me so much on my weighted pony bead blanket ❤
Oh good!! 😀👏🏻💕
This is very informative video. Thank you very much...🙏🏽
How can I contact you with a photo of a project I’d love to see you feature, especially for summer?
You can send it to me on Instagram dm. Same user name 👍🏻💕
Wonderful reference guide, Roz. I am a gram person too. Baking bread led me there and I sort of stuck with it for everything. It's very accurate. Great video.💖
Thanks, Joan! Grams are an amazing tool, yes 😀🙌🏻💕 Have a wonderful week! Xx
Thank you so much
Thank you for such a great way of estimating the required yarn for a specific project. How to work with stripes was especially useful. ❤❤
I’m so glad the stripes made sense 👏🏻💕
Roz, when I start a gauge swatch, if my starting chain doesn't measure the width I'm going for, I switch hooks right then. Is that the right thing to do? Thanks! Mariane
Yes , that’s it. 👍🏻 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe yay!!!
THANK YOU for this video!! I needed it. Please do a video on calculating the yarn for a graphgan!!!
So glad ! 😀👏🏻💕
Thanks! That's how I do it. So i feel reassured!
Works like a charm, right ? 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe yes!
Wow..this info is really helpful..thank you so much

Yes working with two balls is what I do n it works
@@ayezakalim1185 I’m sorry, I thought you were asking me what to do. Awesome! 👏🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe no no I'm not the OP I'm seconding what you said to let her know that it works🥰
@@ayezakalim1185 Thank you and @PlayHookywithMe for your replies! I do appreciate it and will give your suggestion a try! Blessings to you both!
Wow! For me it's been hit or miss or go by what the pattern calls for. This is such valuable information. Thank you. Love the cow! ☮️🌎🌲
Thanks , Jennie. It’s usually hit or miss for me too 😆
but I get asked a lot for yarn calculations so it comes in handy 👏🏻❤️
Enjoy your week! 💕
You are good at it. Most of us avoid any type of math. I know it is in everything we do. 🦩🦩🦩
Painless math ! Great help. Thank you.
So glad , thanks for watching 💕😀
Thank you !
