Frequently asked
- Are these charts sized for knitting gauge?
- Yes. Knitting stitches are wider than they are tall, so each pattern stores a cell aspect ratio. Open the gauge calculator, enter your stitches and rows per 4 inches, and the chart will preview at your exact proportions.
- Can I use these for Fair Isle and stranded knitting?
- Absolutely. The charts work for any colorwork technique — stranded two-color, Fair Isle bands, intarsia blocks, or duplicate stitch after the fact. The grid is technique-agnostic.
- How do I handle floats on wide color sections?
- That is a construction decision outside the chart itself. A common rule of thumb is to catch floats longer than 5 stitches. The chart's row-by-row color sequence helps you plan where catches will fall.
