StitchTip calculator
Sleeve decrease calculator
Turn starting stitches, target stitches and sleeve rows into a checked decrease schedule with an exact first shaping row.
How this tool works
The calculator starts on the entered row, repeats the selected decrease event at the chosen interval and reports whether the target fits, where shaping ends and whether the final event is partial.
Example calculation
Reducing from 60 to 40 stitches by two, starting on row 4 every 4 rows, creates 10 events ending on row 40.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose the first shaping row?
It preserves any straight cuff section instead of assuming the first decrease occurs after an arbitrary interval.
What is a partial final event?
The final event changes fewer stitches than the others and may need a pattern-specific asymmetric instruction.
