The Crocheter’s Handy Guide To Yarn Requirements

I wanted to pass along my newest “fabulous crochet find”…..The Crocheter’s Handy Guide To Yarn Requirements by Ann Budd. It is a wonderful, laminated fold-out pamphlet containing specific yardage requirements for nine crocheted items – caps, scarves, bags, afghans, ponchos, baby sweaters, short and long skirts, as well as tops. Yardage is calculated based on various yarn weights (Craft Yarn Council of America – Size 1 to 5) and basic stitches (sc, hdc, dc, and tr). This handy publication has now earned a place of honor in my craft bag!
