THE KNITTER’S MEASURING TABLE

Make the maths
part of the craft.

Knitting calculators for gauge, size & yarn

A swatch becomes a scarf. A few measurements become a plan. Work out your stitches, rows and yarn—before you cast on.

FROM FIRST SWATCH TO FIRST STITCH

Find your next step.

You don’t need every tool.
Start with the question on your needles.

01 / MEASURE

Will my gauge work?

Compare your swatch with the pattern.

02 / SHAPE

How big shall I make it?

Turn your desired size into stitches & rows.

03 / PREPARE

How much yarn?

Estimate from the swatch you actually made.

A PLACE TO BEGIN

Small swatch. Real possibilities.

Illustrative projects, not knitting patterns.
Choose a starting size, then make it yours.

THE EVERYDAY SCARF

A long, slow
weekend knit.

Start at 25 × 160 cm
Bring your own gauge & repeats.

room for comfort.

THE COMPLETE TOOLKIT

One useful answer at a time.

Every tool shows its method,
rounding and limitations.

01Check your swatch

Gauge comparison

See how a different stitch and row gauge changes a flat rectangle when you keep the pattern counts.

02Find your width

Cast-on calculator

Turn a target width and your measured stitch gauge into complete repeats plus fixed edge stitches.

03Plan your length

Rows to length

Calculate whole row repeats for a target length, with optional fixed starting and finishing rows.

04Make a project plan

Scarf & blanket resizer

Plan stitches and rows together for a simple flat scarf or blanket, respecting repeats in each direction.

05Estimate your yarn

Swatch yarn estimator

Scale the measured weight of a representative swatch to a rectangular project, then explore an explicit reserve and uncertainty range.

06Build your shopping list

Per-colour skein shopping

Subtract usable stash and round up whole skeins separately for up to three colours. Never pool leftover yarn across colours.

MEASURE FIRST, ESTIMATE HONESTLY

Not every 4 inches is 10 cm.

They are close, but they are not the same. We preserve your actual measurement span, show the rounding, and keep assumptions beside the answer.
