Stitch count calculators for knitting

Patterns say what to do and leave the counting to you: increase evenly, pick up stitches along the front. These calculators do that counting from the stitches on your needle and your own gauge.

Calculators in this section

Which calculator do I need?

Does the pattern say to increase or decrease a number of stitches evenly? Use the increase and decrease evenly calculator for the groups between them.

Are you adding a button band, a neckband or a border? Use the pick up stitches calculator for the total and the rate to follow.
