THE SECTION PLANNER

A little sleeve shaping

You’re looking at an example.Explore the sleeve plan, or choose Start fresh and replace the starting values with your own. Enter each instruction, make your schedule, then switch to Knit to track rows.
01

Set the scene

Your starting point
sts
rows

Flat knitting only. Row 1 starts this section, even if your pattern uses a different row number. Right and wrong sides alternate. Rounds, short rows, cast-ons and bind-offs are not supported.

02

Bring in your instructions

Add each “at the same time” instruction separately. Enter total occurrences, including the first: “repeat 3 more times” means 4. Remove all instructions for a plain row counter.

You can change anything and make it your own.

EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE

Your row-by-row plan

Keep your original pattern beside you. Work its background stitches on every row, adding the shaping and reminders shown here.

A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Keep the making
in your hands.

Your pattern knows the stitches.
We help you keep their place.

What does “every 2 rows, 3 times” mean?

The first row you enter is included. Starting on row 5, every 2 rows, 3 total occurrences means rows 5, 7 and 9. But “work this row, then repeat 3 more times” means 4 total occurrences: rows 5, 7, 9 and 11. Check the wording in your pattern; the planner does not interpret pattern text for you.

How do simultaneous instructions work?

Add each instruction separately. If two fall on the same row, you’ll see both. Changes add together: a decrease of 1 at each edge and a separate decrease of 1 in total remove 3 stitches. Check your pattern for the order and placement of the actual stitches.

What do the stitch counts tell me?

Counts are shown after each row. Reminders don’t change the count. We check the arithmetic you enter, not your garment’s fit or stitch placement. Cast-ons, bind-offs and knitting in the round aren’t covered in this planner.

Can I come back to my project?

Your current plan and row progress are saved in this browser when storage is available. Use Save a copy to download a project file, then Open project to pick it up on another device. Clearing browser data can remove your local project.

What if I’m shaping “at the same time”?

Give each instruction its own entry, using the same section row numbering. For example, an armhole decrease starting on row 5 every 2 rows and a neckline decrease starting on row 13 every 2 rows will both appear on row 13. “1 at each edge” removes 2 stitches; “1 in total” removes 1. Use separate entries if a pattern changes from every 4 rows to every 2 rows.

Can I correct a row or rename a project?

Use Undo a row or set the number of rows already knitted in Knit mode. Renaming a project, editing a note or changing an expected final count keeps progress when you apply it. Changing row timing, sides or stitch changes asks before resetting progress. Keep a downloaded copy before making major changes.
