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.

This is the most helpful item come across and would just estimate.
I'm starting to use the knitting board. For one thing I don't have to worry about adding or looking a stitch. I wanted to know how many skeins of 127 yds in one skein for king size with no drape. Is there much difference between with drape or without drape for king size?
