Questions & answers
What does Knitting Gauge Calculator calculate?
Translate a measured stitch and row gauge to a target rectangle.
Which units should I enter?
Stitches in sample uses stitches. Rows in sample uses rows. Sample width uses centimeters. Sample height uses centimeters. Target width uses centimeters. Target height uses centimeters. Convert values to these units before calculating.
Which formula does it use?
Target stitches = width × sample stitches/sample width; rows use sample height.
What does the included example show?
Stitches in sample: 20 stitches; Rows in sample: 28 rows; Sample width: 10 centimeters; Sample height: 10 centimeters; Target width: 50 centimeters; Target height: 60 centimeters. Result: Rounded stitches = 100; Rounded rows = 168; Stitches per centimeter = 2; Rows per centimeter = 2.8.
