Measurements
Gauge after blocking

If you are making your first swatch, start with the needles suggested on the yarn label. If you change needles, block and measure a new swatch.

Yarn usage optional

For this estimate, measure the entire dry swatch, including its edges. Enter the smaller area where you count stitches separately above.

Yarns and strands held together optional

Enter the metres and grams from the label of one skein. If you knit with one strand of fingering and one of mohair, add two yarns and leave the strand count at one for each.

Your pattern

How much yarn do I have?

Enter the number of skeins and the weight and length of one skein. If it is the yarn from your current pattern, you will also see how much you need and what will be left.

How do I measure gauge?
  1. Use the yarn and needles you plan to use for the project. Follow the stitch and method listed under “Gauge after blocking” for the selected construction.
  2. Make a swatch larger than 10 × 10 cm. Wash it and dry it flat as directed on the yarn label.
  3. Count stitches across and rows or rounds vertically, measuring in the centre of the swatch. Enter your counts per 10 cm or enter the width and height you measured. In garter stitch, one raised ridge equals two rows.
  4. Make a new swatch when you change yarn. The fibre content, yarn weight and length on the label describe the yarn. Your swatch determines how many stitches you need for the chosen size.
