Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator
Distribute increases across available stitches.
Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator: Quick Calculation
How Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator Works?
The Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator works by splitting your Current Stitches into equal groups, one group for each of the Increases to Add. You work each group and make 1 increase after it, so the new stitches spread evenly across the row or round.
Enter the current stitches
Tap in the stitch count before the increase row on the main display.
Set the increases
Press → to set Increases to Add.
Find the group size
Divide the stitches by the increases. The whole number is the base group, and the remainder gets 1 extra stitch.
Write the instruction
Write it as [k(base + 1), M1] for the remainder groups and [k(base), M1] for the rest.
Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator Formula
The Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator formula is base group = ⌊stitches ÷ increases⌋, with remainder = stitches mod increases groups worked 1 stitch longer.
- Base group
b = ⌊S ÷ I⌋S is Current Stitches and I is Increases to Add.
- Long groups
r = S mod Ir groups get b + 1 stitches.
- New total
New = S + IEach M1 adds 1 stitch.
Worked example: Increasing 7 stitches across 100 gives a base of ⌊100 ÷ 7⌋ = 14 and a remainder of 2. The round is [k15, M1] ×2, [k14, M1] ×5, ending on 107 stitches.
Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator Conversion Table
The Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator conversion table gives the instruction for 7 increase jobs, worked in the round.
| Stitches | Increases | Instruction | New total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | 6 | [k10, M1] ×6 | 66 |
| 72 | 8 | [k9, M1] ×8 | 80 |
| 80 | 6 | [k14, M1] ×2, [k13, M1] ×4 | 86 |
| 96 | 10 | [k10, M1] ×6, [k9, M1] ×4 | 106 |
| 100 | 7 | [k15, M1] ×2, [k14, M1] ×5 | 107 |
| 120 | 12 | [k10, M1] ×12 | 132 |
| 150 | 16 | [k10, M1] ×6, [k9, M1] ×10 | 166 |
For flat rows, split the first group in half and work one half at each end of the row.
What is Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator?
An Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator is a tool that spreads a set number of increases evenly across a row or round and writes the instruction. Patterns say "increase 12 stitches evenly" and leave the maths to you.
Bunched increases make bumps and flares. Even spacing keeps the fabric smooth after a rib or before a yoke.
The Stitches Counter tool saves the stitch and increase counts in your browser.
What are the uses of Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator?
There are 4 main uses of the Evenly Spaced Increase Calculator, including after ribbing, yokes and hat bodies.
After ribbing
