Frequently asked

Does the chart account for non-square knitting stitches?
Yes. The cell aspect ratio is 1.33 to reflect a typical stockinette gauge. The gauge calculator takes your exact stitches and rows per 4 inches to show the finished size.
Can I use this for Fair Isle or intarsia?
Both. The editor produces a color-per-cell grid chart that works for stranded, intarsia, and duplicate-stitch colorwork. Stitch technique is up to you.
Can I convert a photo into a knitting chart?
Click Uploads in the editor, choose a JPG or PNG, and Craft Studio resizes and quantizes it to as many colors as you choose. More yarn colors give finer detail.
