Cast On Calculator
The Cast On Calculator helps knitters calculate the number of stitches required for their knitting project.
Enter the width of your gauge swatch, the number of stitches within that breadth, and the desired width of your finished creation into the calculator.
The calculator will then calculate the number of stitches required to reach the selected project width.
This calculator can be used for both needle knitting and loom knitting.
