Number of Yards Needed for A Hat

Number of Stitches to Cast On
If your project involves ribbing, cables, or other patterns, you may need to adjust the number of stitches to match the pattern repeat. For example, if your pattern repeat is 4 stitches (e.g., k2, p2 ribbing), ensure the total number of stitches is a multiple of 4.

Yardage Needed for a Sweater
Notes on Constructing Sweaters:
- Ease can be positive (for a looser fit), negative (for a tighter fit), or zero (for a very close fit).
- Use your finished measurements (body measurement + ease) to select the size in a pattern.
- If designing your own pattern, ensure that all measurements (length, armhole depth, sleeve circumference) include the desired ease.
- Ensure your gauge matches the pattern gauge, as differences can affect the finished measurements.

Tapered Sleeve Increases & Decreases
For a tapered sleeve, you should increase 1 stitch at each end of the row (a total of 2 stitches per row) at the specified row intervals.
The formula for tapered sleeve increases it the same for decreases.

Socks - Circumference & Fit

Socks - Number of Stitches to Caston

Socks - Number of Rows for Leg

Socks - Number of Rows for Foot

Socks - Heel Flap and Gusset
The heel turn is typically done over half the total number of stitches. The short-row method or the flap and gusset method are common for shaping the heel.

Socks - Toe Decreases
The heel turn is typically done over half the total number of stitches. The short-row method or the flap and gusset method are common for shaping the heel.
