Knitting Gauge Calculator

Gauge (tension) is the number of stitches and rows per 10 cm of fabric. It determines the finished size of your project and depends on yarn weight, needle size, and knitting style.

  • Always swatch before starting a garment project
  • Wash and block your swatch before measuring for most accurate results
  • If your gauge is off, try a different needle size
  • Results round to the nearest whole stitch — adjust as needed
