StitchTip calculator
Sweater yarn calculator
Estimate sweater yarn from the body, sleeves and a swatch made with your chosen yarn and stitch pattern.
How sweater yarn is estimated
The calculator estimates fabric area for the body and two sleeves, scales your measured swatch consumption to that area, then adds the selected safety margin.
Sweater yarn example
A 100 × 60 cm body plus two 35 × 50 cm sleeves has an estimated fabric area of 9,500 cm² before shaping adjustments.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an exact sweater yardage?
No. Neck shaping, sleeve taper, stitch texture and tension affect consumption, so use the result as a planning estimate.
