How to use this tool

  1. Enter edge rows, rows per 10 cm, and band stitches per 10 cm in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for knitting buttonband pickup ratio. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "rows": 120,
  "rowGauge": 30,
  "stitchGauge": 22
}

Accuracy and scope

Average distribution only; manually spread skipped rows and swatch the band to check puckering.
