01 / Your gauge swatch
02 / Desired dimensions
03 / Motif repeat

No repeating motif? Use 1. Edge stitches are added once to each row’s total; these are not turning chains.

The initial result is an example using the form values.

60stitches per row / round

60rows / rounds

Rounding always keeps at least one repeat and one row. A very small target can produce a larger result even when rounding down.

From swatch to project

  1. Make a swatch with your project’s yarn, hook, stitch and technique. Measure after the same finishing treatment as the project, such as washing or blocking.
  2. Measure the middle of the swatch and count the stitches and rows within that area. Enter the dimensions of the area you actually counted.
  3. For a cylindrical bag body, use circumference as the width. Use a swatch worked in the round if the project is worked in the round.

Basic formula: target width ÷ swatch width × swatch stitches. Height uses the same calculation with rows. Stitch counts are adjusted to whole repeats × stitches per repeat + edge stitches.

Results estimate a section with a constant width. This tool does not calculate round-base increases, garment shaping, yarn requirements or pattern-specific foundation chains. Motif rounding is horizontal only; match vertical repeats to your pattern.
