How it works
- Add a picture and choose how many stitches wide and how many yarn colours.
- Set your gauge — stitches and rows per 10 cm from your swatch — so the cells match your knitting.
- Press Make chart: the PDF has the chart with row and stitch numbers and a key of yarns and counts.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do the cells look wider than tall?
- Knit stitches are wider than they are tall. Drawing the chart at your gauge — 20 stitches and 28 rows to 10 cm, say — keeps a circle round when it is knitted.
- How do I read the chart?
- From the bottom up, row 1 at the bottom right: right-side rows right to left, wrong-side rows left to right, and every round right to left in the round.
- Which yarn colours does it use?
- The picture’s own main colours, as many as you choose, each with a letter, a plain name, a colour code and how many stitches it takes.
- Is my picture uploaded?
- No. The chart is made in your browser; the picture never leaves your device.
