StitchTip calculator
Sweater project calculator
Estimate sweater yarn from finished body measurements, tapered sleeve dimensions, finishing allowance and a measured swatch.
How this tool works
The body is calculated from finished circumference and length. Each sleeve uses the average of its upper-arm and cuff circumferences, so tapered sleeves are not treated as straight tubes.
Example calculation
A 50 cm sleeve tapering from 35 cm at the upper arm to 18 cm at the cuff uses an average circumference of 26.5 cm.
Frequently asked questions
Can I calculate a vest?
Yes. Select sleeveless so no sleeve area is added.
Should I enter body measurements?
Enter finished garment measurements after adding the ease you want.
