Sorry for the delay. Feeling under the weather but coming back strong. Okay, it takes 36 stitches in a chain to make about 1'. That takes about 4' of yarn.
So, I measured out 3 yards of chain and that made a base row of 16 with a K size hook, and got another two rows on it.

So, the math works out to be this: 4' of yarn makes 1' of chain, which makes about 6" of bigger chain. What I would do is make a bunch of chain, and make sure you begin with the beginning of the chain.

In other words, always have the "working end" of the chain as what you work on last. That way, if you don't estimate perfect, it's easy to just keep adding more. It's not that hard to if you get the beginning end of the chain last, but the stitches will be in the opposite direction. That might be an issue for you so that is my advice.

I sure hope this helped. Please let me know if I can do anything else... PBP!
