Recalculate a pattern for your gauge

A width and your gauge — how many stitches to cast on and how many rows to knit.

Your gauge

Enter your gauge and the width — your cast-on appears 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.
