StitchTip calculator
Pattern repeat calculator
Adjust a target stitch count to the nearest number that fits complete pattern repeats and edge stitches.
How pattern repeats are fitted
The calculator removes fixed edge stitches, finds complete multiples of the repeat, then compares the nearest lower and upper compatible counts.
Pattern repeat example
For a target of 103 stitches with a 4-stitch repeat and no edge stitches, the nearest compatible count is 104.
Frequently asked questions
What are fixed edge stitches?
They are stitches outside the repeated motif, such as selvedges or border stitches added once per row.
