Knitting Gauge Calculator

한국어

Enter the pattern gauge and your gauge. Get the stitch and row counts for your hands.

Rescale a cast-on or a row count in one go, rounded to your stitch multiple if the pattern has one. Nothing you type leaves this page.

Say the pattern gauge is 22 sts per 10cm and yours is 20. The pattern's 120 sts become 109.1, so you cast on 109.

Gauge measured over

Pick what your pattern uses. Enter both gauges over the same length.

Your gauge (10cm)

Measure a swatch knit in the pattern's stitch and needle. Leave rows blank if you only need stitches.

Start from
Round to a stitch multiple

For 2x2 rib, a multiple of 4. Add edge stitches as extra. Leave 1 and 0 if there is no repeat.

Enter both gauges and a count. Your result shows up right below.

What this does not do

It does not pick yarn or needle sizes for you. Knit a swatch and enter what you measure.

It holds no patterns. Published patterns are copyrighted, so you type in only the numbers.

There is no standard rounding rule, so the rule this page uses is written right under the result.
