LOOK IT UP instead of calculating - PDF table for knitting and crocheting

Here it is - the much-requested
PDF table for determining the starting stitch count:
LOOK IT UP instead of calculating - whether printed out or always at hand on a smartphone - this PDF table is simply practical on the go.
You
crochet or knit your gauge swatch (at least 10 cm x 10 cm), count how many stitches you get over 10 cm, and can then conveniently look up in the table how many stitches you need to start with for your desired measurement.

Yarn requirements for standard DK yarns incl. explanation of yarn weights
For
a rough idea of how much yarn knitted vests/sweaters/cardigans (baby size 50, children's, women's, and men's sizes up to 56) roughly
require, see this
PDF table.
The information in grams and meters refers to DK yarns with a yardage of 50 g - 120 m to 160 m for
a) stitch patterns with low yarn consumption (stockinette stitch)
b) stitch patterns with high yarn consumption (e.g., garter stitch)
The exact yarn requirement, however, depends on your individual knitting tension (gauge) and the stitch pattern used, or on the information in the patterns. No guarantee is given.
Also included are
generally applicable details regarding gauge and needle/hook size for the different yarn weights Lace, 4-ply, DK, Aran, Chunky, Super Chunky, and Big.
Good luck with all your projects.
