Ease Guide
| Ease | Amount | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Negative Ease (-2") | -2" | Fitted, body-hugging. Common for sweater knits with stretch. |
| Zero Ease (0") | 0" | Exact fit. Works well with drapey yarns. |
| Standard (+2") | +2" | Classic fit — most patterns use this. Comfortable with room to move. |
| Oversized (+4–6") | +5" | Relaxed, boxy fit. Popular for contemporary designs. |
How to Use This Calculator

- 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.
