Recalculate a pattern for your gauge
The pattern says one gauge, your swatch says another. Enter both and the pattern’s counts — knit your own numbers.
The pattern says
Stitches per cm
Rows per cm
Stitches in the piece

Your swatch says

Enter the pattern’s gauge and counts — your numbers appear here.
Before you trust the numbers
- Swatch with the yarn and needles (or the machine tension) you will use.
- Wash and block the swatch first — yarn changes after washing.
- Round to an even number where the piece is symmetrical.
- Ease is the pattern’s, not yours — recalculation keeps it.
Which side do I need?
- Recalculate a pattern — you have a pattern and your gauge is different.
- How many stitches to cast on — you have a width and no pattern: hats, cowls, scarves, any straight piece.
Tired of counting by hand? A Knitticate pattern does all of this for you, from your own measurements.
