Stitch chart

Yarn colours

Decrease symbols show the right-side action. On wrong-side rows, use the corresponding purl decrease.

Drag to paint. With the chart focused, use arrow keys to move and Space to paint. Row 1 is at the bottom.

Keep your place

Written pattern

The chart and your writing are independent. Check that stitch counts, shaping and instructions agree before knitting.

Useful knitting calculations

Use measurements from your own swatch. These are estimates, not a garment sizing service.

From swatch to size

Use measurements from your own swatch. These are estimates, not a garment sizing service.

How many yarn balls?

This uses the yarn length you enter. It cannot estimate yarn from a chart alone.

Space shaping evenly

Each increase adds one stitch between stitches; each decrease knits two together. Check the method suits your pattern.

A few useful things to know

Where is my pattern saved?

Your work is saved in this browser when storage is available. Download a backup before clearing browser data or changing devices.

Does the chart write instructions for me?

No. Create the chart and written instructions side by side, then check that both agree. No automatic garment sizing or grading is provided.

How do I read the chart?

Start at the bottom. Flat knitting alternates right-to-left right-side rows and left-to-right wrong-side rows. In the round, read every row right to left.

Can I print my pattern?

Yes. Print pattern includes the complete chart, stitch legend and all your written instructions. You can also save a PDF using your browser print dialog.

Is this free and private?

Yes. The designer and calculators run on your device without an account, upload or paid service.
