StitchTip calculator
Cast-on calculator
Calculate a cast-on count from gauge, finished width and stitch repeat.
How the calculation works
Measured stitches per unit are multiplied by target width and adjusted to the selected repeat.
Worked example
At 20 stitches per 10 cm, a 50 cm width starts with 100 stitches before repeat adjustment.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use blocked measurements?
Yes whenever the finished project will be washed or blocked; use measurements from a similarly treated swatch.
