I’m excited to share my new knitting pattern generator! The Drop Shoulder Sweater Calculator generates a custom-fit pattern based on your measurements and gauge, using a classic panel construction that’s easy to knit and easy to modify.

• 🧵 Panel Construction: Knit flat in simple rectangles—no shaping required until the optional crew or V neckline. You can add different upper arm and wrist measurements for a tapered sleeve.
• 📐 Custom Fit: Enter your bust size, upper arm circumference and gauge, and get a pattern tailored to your numbers.
• 🎨 Stitch Pattern Friendly: Works beautifully in stockinette, texture, or colourwork.
• 🪡 Seam-Based Structure: Seaming adds durability and polish to the finished garment.

Whether you’re knitting for a baby, a friend, or yourself, this calculator gives you a flexible foundation to build on—perfect for experimenting with yarn, stitch patterns, or design details.

The calculator is live and ready to use. Just plug in your numbers and start knitting your next favourite sweater.

I’m excited to share a new tool designed to make your next knit hat project smoother, smarter, and more personal. The Easy Tuque Calculator generates a custom-fit pattern based on your gauge and measurements, giving you a clean foundation to build on—whether you’re working in textured stitches, ribbing, colourwork, or simple stockinette.

This tuque features quick decreases for a gathered crown shaping, which means less fuss and more freedom to play with stitch patterns throughout the main section. It’s a versatile silhouette that works beautifully with bold textures or minimalist designs—and it looks especially sharp topped with a pompom (optional).

What Makes It Different?

• 🧵 Custom Fit: Enter your gauge and desired circumference and height of your hat, and get a pattern tailored to your numbers.
• 🎨 Stitch Pattern Friendly: The structure leaves maximum flexibility for whatever stitch pattern you love.
• ⏱️ Quick Crown Shaping: Simple decreases at the top create a neat, gathered finish.
• 🧢 Pompom-Ready: The shape works perfectly with or without a pompom—your call.

Whether you’re knitting for yourself, a gift, or a design experiment, this calculator gives you the freedom to focus on the fun parts: choosing yarn, exploring stitch textures, and watching your tuque take shape.

If you’ve ever stared at a pattern that says “increase evenly across the row”, then looked at your dozens of stitches and wondered how on earth do I do that? — you’re not alone. Figuring out how to space increases or decreases evenly can feel like a math puzzle you didn’t sign up for. But good news: we’ve built a calculator that does the hard part for you!

✨ What It Does

The Increase/Decrease Evenly Calculator helps you:

• Calculate how to evenly space increases or decreases across a row or round
• Avoid guesswork and awkward stitch placement
• Get back to the fun part — actually making your project!

This tool takes the math off your plate and gives you a clear, easy-to-follow result.

🧮 How It Works

Just plug in:

• The number of stitches you currently have
• How many you want to increase or decrease

And voilà — the calculator tells you exactly how to space them out. No more scribbling on scrap paper or second-guessing your math.

You can even choose the “Symmetrical” option to have stitches, if possible, set aside on both ends, making it a great tool when working in rows and you would rather have your increases/decreases away from the edges.

💡 Why This Calculator?

Shaping can be one of the trickiest parts of a project — especially when the instructions are vague. This tool is designed to be simple, fast, and accurate, so you can spend less time calculating and more time creating.

After a month of building, testing, and refining, I’m excited to share that EasyKnitCalc is officially online!

This site started as a personal project — I wanted a way to generate a simple, custom-fit raglan sweater pattern based on my own measurements. As I worked through the math and shaping logic, I realized it could be useful to others too. So I decided to share it.

The goal of EasyKnitCalc is to help knitters create garments that fit — without the guesswork or unnecessary design flourishes. Just clean, customizable shaping based on your numbers.

The first tool available is the Raglan Sweater Calculator, which guides you through neckline shaping, stitch counts, and row-by-row instructions.

More shaping styles and garment options are on the way. I’ll post updates here whenever something new is added — so feel free to check back for the latest.

Thanks for visiting, and happy knitting! — Derek
