How do you figure out afghan sizes?
I have created a formula to calculate the chain counts needed to get to the sizes you need. The formula will also calculate stitch sets for those who require a pattern, such as a wave afghan to stay in balance for stitches.
Sizes of afghans have been provided in the equation for those interested to know the standard sizes of crochet afghans. I have included everything from receiving blanket sizes to king size.
For my calculator, you will need a measuring tape to give me a few dimensions. Due to everyone having their own gauge for stitching, this formula will adjust to your own tension to provide you with accurate details.

Hello dear! I don't have the exact answer for you, but I am doing a c2c myself right now and I just finished the row that makes it 36" on the straight edge. I'm using Caron Cakes yarn and a size J hook and there are 41 squares on the third side. I'm trying to figure it out too and don't know if this will help, but hopefully you can use mine to figure out yours.
