Knitting and crochet

Tools for the numbers in knitting and crochet: turning a swatch into a gauge, working out a cast-on, spacing increases evenly and swapping one yarn for another.

The size charts translate millimeters, US numbers and letters. The gauge and cast-on calculators work from your own swatch, so knit or crochet one first.
