Knitting shaping row planner
Distribute one-stitch increases or decreases across a row schedule.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Distributes absolute stitch-count changes using cumulative-floor allocation across the supplied rows. Supports at most one increase/decrease per row and requires enough rows for the change. Shows the stitch count after every row, up to 1,000 rows. This is an arithmetic count schedule; it does not specify where to place stitches, garment shaping, gauge or pattern technique.

Worked example
A fixed demonstration, separate from the values you enter above.
- Starting stitch count
- 40
- Target stitch count
- 52
- Available rows
- 36
Example result
| Row | One-stitch action | Stitches after row |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Work even | 40 |
| 2 | Work even | 40 |
| 3 | Increase 1 | 41 |
| 4 | Work even | 41 |
| 5 | Work even | 41 |
Changes are spaced by cumulative-floor allocation. This is a count schedule, not a garment pattern or stitch-placement instruction.
