Rows for Length Calculator Formula

The Rows for Length Calculator formula is rows = desired length × rows per inch. Subtract rows already worked to get the rows left.

Rows

R = L × r

L is the length in inches and r is rows per inch.

Rows left

Left = R − worked

Worked is the rows already done.

Length from rows

L = R ÷ r

Use the reverse to check a length.

Worked example: A sleeve of 18 in (45.7 cm) at 6 rows per inch needs 18 × 6 = 108 rows.
