This was my second project to test, for the designer @havencrochetdesigns
Yarn: Scheepjes Cahlista 100% Cotton
Colors:
- 410 Rich Coral
- 105 Bridal White
- 523 Sweet Mandarin
Hook:
- 4.0 mm
- 4.5 mm for the border sl st
Started: December 30, 2020
Finished: January 6, 2021
How much of each color used:
Bridal White: 15 rows x 28 stitches
+ 140 double crochet stitches
x 1.8/36 = 28 yds
+ 3 x 15 rows extra ends = 30.25 yds
Border: (31 x 2) + (28 x 2) + 12 x 1.8 /36 = 6.5yds
Rich Coral: 16 rows x 28 stitches
+ 276 dc
x 1.8/36 = 36.2 yds
+ 3 x 15 = 38.45 yds
Back: 31 x 28 x !8/36 = 43.4 yds
front + back = 81.85 yds
Sweet Mandarin: 244 sl st x 1.8/36 = 12.2 yds
(31 x 2 + 28 x 2 ) x 2 + 8
I learned how to estimate the amount of yarn needed
1 yd = 36 in
Using Scheepjes Cahlista, these are the estimates for yarn per stitch:
56 inch = 28 cs
61 in = 26 cs + 2 dc
~ 3 in for 1 dc
~ 2 in for 1 cs
16 sl st = 20 in
10 ch = 11 in
