Pattern Resize Calculator

How Pattern Resize Calculator Works?

The Pattern Resize Calculator works by multiplying Current Stitches by a Scale Factor (%) and rounding the result to the pattern's stitch multiple.

1. 1

   Enter the stitch count

   Tap in the pattern's stitch count.

2. 2

   Set the scale

   Press → to set the scale factor, such as 110 for 10% larger.

3. 3

   Scale

   Multiply the stitches by the factor ÷ 100.

4. 4

   Round to the multiple

   Round to the pattern's repeat so the motif still fits.

Pattern Resize Calculator Formula

The Pattern Resize Calculator formula is new stitches = round(stitches × scale ÷ 100 ÷ multiple) × multiple.

Scaled count

S' = S × f ÷ 100

f is the Scale Factor.

Rounded count

S'' = round(S' ÷ m) × m

m is the stitch multiple.

Scale from widths

f = new width ÷ old width × 100

Find the scale from the widths you want.

Worked example: A 120-stitch blanket in a 12-stitch repeat scaled to 125% gives 150 stitches, rounded to 156 (13 repeats) or 144 (12 repeats).

Pattern Resize Calculator Conversion Table

The Pattern Resize Calculator conversion table scales a 120-stitch piece with a 12-stitch repeat.

Rounding changes the real scale slightly. Recheck the width after rounding.

What is Pattern Resize Calculator?

A Pattern Resize Calculator is a tool that scales a pattern's stitch counts up or down while keeping the stitch repeat. Blankets, scarves and simple garments resize this way.

Rounding to the repeat keeps the motif whole. The Stitches Counter tool saves the count and the scale in your browser.
