How the Crochet Along Progress Tracker Works
The Crochet Along Progress Tracker works in 4 steps.
- 1
List the parts
Write each part with its release date and rows in the notes box.
- 2
Set the part target
Enter the current part's row or round count into Target Goal.
- 3
Count as you work
Tap + Count after each row or round of the part.
- 4
Mark the part done
Note the finish date next to the part, reset and wait for the next release.
Crochet Along Progress Tracker Formula
The Crochet Along Progress Tracker formula turns a part's rows into a daily target.
Rows per day = Rows in part ÷ Days until next release
Parts behind = Parts released − Parts completed
- Rows in part
- Rows or rounds in the current part
- Days until next release
- Usually 7 for weekly CALs
Worked example: Part 4 has 28 rows and the next part releases in 7 days. Rows per day = 28 ÷ 7 = 4. With 5 parts released and 3 completed, you are 2 parts behind.
Crochet Along Progress Tracker Conversion Table
The Crochet Along Progress Tracker conversion table converts a part's row count into daily row targets for 3 release intervals.
| Rows in part | Rows per day (7 days) | Rows per day (10 days) | Rows per day (14 days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 2 | 1.4 | 1 |
| 20 | 2.9 | 2 | 1.4 |
| 28 | 4 | 2.8 | 2 |
| 35 | 5 | 3.5 | 2.5 |
| 42 | 6 | 4.2 | 3 |
| 56 | 8 | 5.6 | 4 |
| 70 | 10 | 7 | 5 |
Round daily targets up so the last day does not carry extra rows.
What is a Crochet Along Progress Tracker?
A crochet along progress tracker is a tracker that records released parts, milestones and completion for a crochet along (CAL). The Crochet Stitch Counter Crochet Along Progress Tracker keeps you on schedule with weekly pattern releases.
A crochet along releases a pattern in parts, usually once a week. Mystery crochet alongs (MCALs) hide the final design until the end. Falling 2 parts behind turns a 1-week task into a 3-week backlog.
The tracker lists each part, its release date and its row count, then shows the rows per day needed to stay current.
