Stitch Math cover

The knitting maths, done for you.

Six tools that answer the questions every pattern leaves you with, each project keeping its own numbers.

WHAT IT DOES

  • Gauge converter: any stitch or row count from the pattern, at your gauge, and what size you'd really get
  • Resize a pattern: cast-on from your measurement and ease that still fits the stitch repeat, with the closest alternatives
  • Spread evenly: increases or decreases across a row, written as a pattern line ("K4, M1, *K8, M1; rep from * 10 more times, K4") with a picture of the row; M1, M1L, KFB or YO
  • Shape over rows: "dec every 6th row 4 times, then every 8th row 5 times", right-side rows only if you like, with a row map
  • Row counter with repeat reminders for cables, decreases and anything else, keyboard and chime
  • Yarn needed: yardage from a swatch and your pieces, skeins to buy, and whether your stash covers it

Who it's for

Knitters who modify patterns, knit between sizes, or would rather not do long division mid-sweater.

Making and hobbies

Stitch Math

knitting gauge converter, pattern resizer, evenly-spaced increases, shaping and row counter

Convert any pattern to your gauge, resize it to your measurements while keeping the stitch repeat, and get "increase 12 evenly" written out the way a pattern would say it, with a picture of the row. Spread shaping over any number of rows, count rows with reminders for cables and decreases, and work out how many skeins to buy.
