Ten Stitch Calculator

Ten Stitch Calculator

We all love the Ten Stitch Pattern Blanket from Frankie Brown.  Whether you are knitting it on needles or working it up on your loom (Get the NEW Loom Knit Ten Stitch Blanket pattern here!) it’s a favorite project for many of us.  But it can be tricky to predict what size it will end up especially if you want to include a specific design.  With that in mind the GoodKnit Kisses math fairy is back with another treat for you.  I’ve put together a Ten Stitch Calculator to help you plan your blanket project.

With a couple measurements from your swatch this two-way calculator can tell you how many rounds* to knit to reach the size you want or you can tell it how many rounds you want to knit and it will give you the finished size.  This just the tool you need so you can design just the right layout for your blanket.

*NOTE: This is the number of rounds you need to ADD TO your swatch to complete the blanket. A round is 4 sides and 4 corners.

Ten Stitch Swatch

Calculating the size of a ten stitch blanket is a little different than figuring out the size of a standard blanket.  Because of that I’m using a special swatch.  Don’t worry! Once you’ve measured the swatch just put it back on your loom or needles and continue your blanket.

Knit the swatch using the yarn and loom or knitting needles you plan to use for your blanket.  Follow the swatch guides below.  Blue sections show straight knitting and Red sections are short-rowed corners.  #1 is your beginning section of garter ridges.  You are done with swatch when you finish the last row of Section 8.

To measure your swatch:

Needle knitters – Lay swatch flat on a table and use a tape measure to get the exact width.  Use the calculator and continue knitting.

Loom knitters – Transfer your stitches to a stitch holder or scrap piece of yarn.  Once they are off the loom lay the swatch flat on a table and measure the exact width.

After you’ve used the calculator put the 10 live stitches back onto your loom.  Now you can continue your blanket by starting the next corner.

Ten Stitch Blanket Yardage Calculator

The most asked question once you figure out the Ten Stitch Pattern is, “How much yarn will I need for a blanket?”  Now I’ve got a tool to help you figure that out.

Here’s the video that walks you through how to use the yardage calculator.

I hope you all get a lot of use out of these calculators!

Hi. I'm working on troubleshooting the issue. I can use the calculators just fine on my Windows laptop using the Chrome browser and on my iPhone using Safari. If you're still having trouble, let me know what device and browser you're using so I can see about duplicating the problem. Thanks!

I can only seem to find the link to the videos, but not the calculators themselves. Could you please post those? I might just be missing something entirely. ;)

Thank you!

Clara, the first time I was on here, I didn’t see it either. But this time, I clicked on the pic that you can pin, and it shows up directly underneath that pic now. The first time I checked was yesterday. So, that has to be how it works. Just try clicking on the pic that says ten stitch calculator, and all 3 of them should be there when you scroll down. I hope this helps because I saw that you hadn’t gotten a response since you asked almost 2 months ago.
