Good to know
Yarn use depends on the stitch and on how big each stitch is. This calculator starts from typical worsted-weight usage for each technique and scales it to your gauge, then adds 15% so you don’t run short.
It’s an estimate: weigh a finished swatch for the most accurate number, and buy all your yarn from one dye lot.
Turn a photo into a patternHow much yarn for a throw blanket?
A 50 × 60 in single crochet throw in worsted weight comes to roughly 2,700 yards at 14 stitches per 4 in, including 15% extra. Enter your own gauge for a closer figure.
Does C2C use more yarn?
Yes — double crochet tiles use noticeably more yarn per square inch than single crochet or knitting.
How do I estimate each colour?
Make your chart in the SoraStitch studio: it estimates yardage for every colour from its stitch count.
