SWITCH YARN WITHOUT THE STRESS

Got a different yarn than the pattern calls for? No problem.
Get the right stitch count in seconds.

This calculator answers one of the most common questions in crochet patterns:

 

 "I want to use a different yarn — how many stitches do I need?"

Every yarn has a gauge — a measure of how many stitches fit into a given width. When you switch from a bulky yarn to a lighter cotton, your stitch count needs to change to achieve the same finished size. The Stitch Count Converter does that math for you automatically.

WHEN TO USE IT​

STASH BUSTING

Convert any pattern to the yarn you already own — no need to hunt down the exact specified brand.

SIZING ADJUSTMENTS

Switching from bulky to worsted? Get the right stitch count for the same finished width instantly.

FIBER SWAPS

Moving from acrylic to cotton or wool? Different fibers behave differently — this accounts for that.
