Result
Enter your project size and gauge to estimate stitches, rows, and yarn.
Gauge controls the size
Even a small gauge difference can change the final dimensions, so measure a proper swatch before starting.
Round stitch counts carefully
Patterns may need multiples such as 2, 4, or 6 stitches. Adjust the result to match your stitch repeat.
Allow for finishing
Borders, seams, tassels, and weaving ends all require extra yarn beyond the main fabric estimate.
Frequently asked questions
How are starting stitches calculated?
The calculator converts your stitch gauge into stitches per unit, then multiplies it by the required finished width.
How does the yarn estimate work?
It scales the yarn used in your gauge swatch to the full project area, then adds your selected allowance.
Should I round stitches up or down?
Usually round to the nearest whole stitch, then adjust to the multiple required by your chosen stitch pattern.
Can I use this for garments?
It is best for simple rectangular pieces. Garments need separate calculations for shaping, ease, sleeves, necklines, and construction.
