How to Use This Calculator

Select your sweater construction style — yardage distribution varies by style.
Choose a standard chest size or enter custom body and sleeve measurements.
Select your yarn weight and stitch pattern — heavier yarn uses fewer yards; cables use more.
Choose ease — how much larger or smaller the finished sweater is vs. body measurement.
Enter your actual gauge from a blocked swatch for the most accurate estimate.

Note: Yardage is estimated using body × sleeve area formulas calibrated to standard sweater proportions. Actual usage depends on stitch pattern density, row gauge, number of colors, and personal knitting style. Always round up.
