Yarn Size
How much yarn do you need to crochet a queen size afghan?
I want to crochet a queen size afghan. I'm using a size F hook and am doing it all in single stitch. Thanks!
It depends on the gauge you get with the yarn and the F hook. One way to figure it out is to crochet a square exactly 6" x 6". That's 1/4 of a square foot. Then unravel and measure the yarn it took to crochet 1/4 square foot. Multiply by 4 to get the amount of yarn for 1 square foot.
A Queen-size afghan is about 84" across and about 108" long. That's 7 ft x 9 ft or 63 sq ft. Multiply the yardage you calculated for 1 square foot times 63 to get the yardage for 63 square feet. Then buy enough skeins to provide that yardage (plus a little more in case of error, knots, and so on).
