Instant gauge math for knitters! Three easy-to-use options: Adjust a Pattern (Free) — Converts stitch and row counts from the pattern's gauge to your new gauge. Takes repeating patterns into account if you wish. Test My Gauge (One time unlock) — Tells you exactly how much bigger or smaller the project will be if you just knit it as written, but in a different gauge. Work from Measurements (One time unlock) — Effortless calculations of stitch and row counts from finished measurements. Takes repeating patterns into account if you wish. Calculations are saved for you to view or edit at any time. Start a fresh set of calculations by tapping on the calculation type you want. Knittrick works in inches or centimeters and happily handles repeating patterns which require whole repeats of any stitch or row count. The ultimate knitting notion. *** I am an avid knitter myself and have designed this app from the ground up to be as useful as possible. Please email me with any questions!
