01 / Width + measured gauge

Count your own swatch.

Changing units converts every current width measurement.
Your representative swatch
Repeat constraints
Use 1 if there is no repeat constraint.
The total across both edges, not per edge.
The plan always includes at least one complete repeat.

Width difference: 0%. Width-only arithmetic from the gauge you entered. It does not rewrite shaping, row counts or construction. Read the assumptions.

Measure the actual span.

Enter counted stitches and the width they cover. The calculator keeps the gauge and dimension units explicit.

Fit the whole repeat.

A repeat multiple plus fixed edge stitches gives allowed counts. Choose nearest, at least or at most the target width.

Check the changed width.

The result shows the modelled width and its difference from your target. It does not rewrite the rest of a pattern.
