I’d like to introduce you to a very popular tool from my shop that makes crocheting and knitting easier. The Crochet and Knitting Calculator does the math for you, so you can focus on what really matters... namely crocheting and knitting.

The Crochet and Knitting Calculator is a program that you can use on your PC, tablet, or phone.

With it, you can calculate or convert the following:

• How many skeins of yarn do I need if I want to crochet or knit my project with a different yarn than the one specified?
• How many stitches and rows do I need to cast on to be able to crochet my desired size?
• How many stitches and rows do I need to cast on to be able to crochet or knit the crocheted piece with a different one than specified?
• How big does my crown circle need to be to achieve the desired head circumference?

--> To the Crochet and Knitting Calculator


The Crochet and Knitting Calculator is also available in combination with the yarn search engine as an affordable complete package. It also lists over 720 yarns with their various properties, namely:

• Manufacturer
• Name
• Direct link to the manufacturer’s page and to the yarn
• Type of use (e.g., amigurumi yarn, roving yarn, summer yarn, etc.)
• Needle/hook size
• Fiber type and percentage share (cotton, wool, merino, virgin wool, alpaca, viscose, cashmere, mohair, acrylic, polyamide, polyester, others with exact name)
• Yardage in m per skein
• Weight in g per skein
• Gauge
• Care instructions
• Price per skein (RRP)
• Price converted to m of yardage

And the best part is that you can filter the yarns according to your wishes. For example, you’re looking for a pure cotton yarn in needle/hook size 3, or yarns with alpaca content, or a yarn with a specific gauge, and so on and so on

Here’s where you can find the package: --> Crochet and Knitting Calculator // Yarn Search Engine
