Crochet Session Timer Formula

Labor value = Total hours × Hourly rate
- Session minutes
- Length of each session
- Hourly rate
- Your chosen rate for commission work

What is a Crochet Session Timer?
A crochet session timer is a tool that records the time you spend crocheting on a project. The Crochet Stitch Counter Crochet Session Timer logs sessions so you know the real hours behind a finished piece.
Time records answer 3 questions: how long a project took, how fast you work and what to charge for commissions. A throw blanket often takes 30 to 60 hours, and most makers underestimate that number by half.
The page counts sessions and stores session times in the notes box beside the counter.
