How long will it take me to crochet this?

Namaste friends!

Gifting season is fast approaching and since we are already in October I am sure you are frantically crocheting/knitting/painting or crafting whatever you are best at. :)

Handmade gifts are any day preferable to store bought ones. But very often we are hesistant to start a handmade project, and there could be various reasons for that;

a) you are a newbie crocheter

b) you have a large family which means tons of gifts to make!

c) you have very little time for crochet given your busy schedule

d) you have a tough time deciding what to make.

Of course there could be tons of other reasons too.

So, when I came across this wonderful fun calculator at lovecrafts.com that will solve the problems listed above, I knew I had to share it with you.

This lovely calculator tells you exactly how much time it will take to crochet a particular project! 

What? You are a beginner crocheter? You can spare only 2 hours per day?

No problem. As you can see below, this calculator takes into account various factors like your level of crochet expertise, the number of hours you can spare per day and has a wide range of projects to choose from. 

Also lovecrafts.com  has a ton of free patterns for you to try.

I urge you to try out this calculator and, dive right in and get crocheting. Maybe this year you can make that warm shawl for Granma or a lovely hat for someone special.

Do let me know if you try it out and whether you found it helpful. 

And while you are at it try these free crochet patterns on my blog. As well as these easy patterns on Ravelry and Etsy.

So, Happy Crocheting and I hope you make tons of crochet gifts this year for your loved ones. :)
