Knitting calculator
A knitting calculator is a digital tool that works out stitch counts, even distribution of increases and decreases, or yarn amounts from your gauge and measurements.
Explanation
A knitting calculator does the knitting math for you. Instead of calculating by hand, you enter numbers from your swatch or pattern – for example your gauge and the desired width – and the calculator gives you the stitch count right away. The most common variants are calculators for stitch counts based on gauge, for even distribution of increases and decreases, and for yarn amounts. Knitting calculators exist as web tools, apps and physical gadgets; the web tools are free and run right in the browser on both mobile and desktop.
