Knitter’s Math: The Secret to Customizing Any Pattern (and Loving the Fit & Fabric Every Time)

with Jessica Brist

Presentation Length: 20 minutes

Description:

Have you ever fallen in love with a knitting pattern but wished it was just a little longer, a little cozier, or worked in a different yarn? In this session, Jessica of Snickerdoodle Knits takes the mystery (and fear!) out of “knitter’s math.” You’ll learn a simple step-by-step process—using only addition and multiplication—that empowers you to confidently adjust stitch counts, lengths, and gauges to create pieces that truly fit your body, your style, and your yarn.

Major Takeaway:

You don’t need to be a math whiz to customize your knits. With a few simple calculations and the right tools, you can adapt any pattern to match your vision and ensure a fit (and fabric) you’ll love every single time.
