Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate yarn yardage for a graphgan?

Yardage is calculated by multiplying your total grid stitch count by the average inches of yarn consumed per stitch for your chosen stitch type and yarn weight, plus a 15% safety buffer for tails and bobbins.

Why should I add a 15% colorwork buffer?

Colorwork projects like graphgans and tapestry crochet consume extra yarn for color changes, carried floating strands, and tails woven into the back.
