Crochet-Along Progress Tracker
Track released crochet sections.
How Crochet-Along Progress Tracker Works?
The Crochet-Along Progress Tracker works by tracking the CAL Part Number of a crochet-along (CAL) and the Rows in Part worked. CAL blankets release parts weekly, often with a new stitch in each part.
Start a part
Tap the count pad or press Space when a new CAL part begins.
Count rows in the part
Press → for each row or round of the part.
Note the special stitch
Write down the new stitch each part teaches, such as front post double crochet (FPdc).
Reset per part
Press ← to clear Rows in Part at the next part.
Crochet-Along Progress Tracker Formula
The Crochet-Along Progress Tracker formula is CAL progress = (finished parts + rows in part ÷ part rows) ÷ total parts × 100.
- Progress
P = (p − 1 + r ÷ R) ÷ N × 100p is CAL Part Number, r is Rows in Part, R is the part's rows and N is total parts.
- Weeks behind
Behind = released parts − finished partsBehind shows the catch-up needed.
- Yarn by part
Yarn = total ÷ partsParts are often planned to use similar yarn.
Worked example: Part 7 of 12 with 6 of 10 rows done is (6 + 0.6) ÷ 12 = 55% done.

What is Crochet-Along Progress Tracker?
A Crochet-Along Progress Tracker is a tool that tracks parts and rows in a group crochet-along. CALs teach new stitches and build a blanket or shawl part by part.
Falling behind is common, and catching up is easier when you know your exact row in the current part.
The Stitches Counter tool saves the part and rows in your browser.
