READ IT OFF instead of calculating - PDF table for knitting and crochet





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Here it is—the much-requested PDF table for determining the number of stitches to cast on: READ IT OFF instead of calculating—whether printed out or on a smartphone, always close at hand—this PDF table is simply practical for on the go.

Here’s how it works: crochet or knit a gauge swatch (at least 10 cm x 10 cm), count how many stitches/rows make 10 cm, and then conveniently read in the table how many stitches need to be cast on for the desired measurement.


For pattern instructions
“number of stitches divisible by ... plus   ...” I recommend this Excel table (click me).

These fruity glass coasters—which you can also use as glass covers to keep wasps out—are a breeze to make, because you don’t have to do much counting or follow a complicated pattern while crocheting. Just use a few color-coordinated leftover yarn scraps from your scrap basket. And you can get the pattern right here!
