Knitting Gauge Swatch & Cast-On Calculator

Compare your blocked 10 cm swatch against the pattern designer's gauge to compute your exact cast-on stitch count, row target, and cell height-to-width ratio before picking up needles.

Cast on 104 sts × 151 rows

Your swatch cell aspect ratio is 0.769 (height / width). Following the designer's 114 cast-on stitches without adjusting would produce a 57.0 cm panel (+5.0 cm off target).
