Your yoke, at a glance

How the calculation works
  • Increase points are evenly spaced; each adds two stitches.
  • Within the increase section, increase every IP / 2 rounds, starting at its round IP / 2. There are IP / 2 − 1 plain rounds between increases.
  • The increase section ends on its final increase round. Optional plain rounds are separate.
  • Use positive whole numbers, even IP, and SI divisible by IP. SF − SI must be divisible by 2 × IP.
  • The preview is schematic, not a model of gauge, stitch ancestry, or tension.
  • When resizing, colors keep their real-stitch position within each section. Changes that remove colored stitches require confirmation.
  • Initial and final plain rounds use SI and SF stitches. They do not change the increase schedule.

Plans stay in this browser. Opening a plan replaces the editor after confirmation if there are unsaved changes.

About local storage and backups

Plans stay in this browser profile and website origin, with no server storage or synchronization. Clearing browser data can delete them; private browsing may be temporary. Export JSON backups to move plans between browsers or devices.

Save as

Save as creates a separate saved copy and leaves the original untouched.

New plan from JSON

Drop a JSON plan here.

Both options replace the current plan in the editor. Unsaved changes require confirmation; existing saved copies stay untouched. Empty plans start with default stitch counts and no colors. JSON plans are validated first and remain unsaved until you select Save. File limit: 1 MiB.

Preview instructions

Visible segments are centered at 6 o'clock. Row 1 begins at the inner edge. Uncolored stitches use the background; colors repeat in every segment. Dashed marks show increase points.

Chart instructions
Round labels are continuous. I marks initial plain rounds, Y marks the increase section, and F marks final plain rounds.
Drag or click two corners to select a rectangle. Shift + arrow keys also select. Use Ctrl/Cmd + X, C, or V to cut, copy, or paste. Escape cancels selection.
Clipboard contents stay in this tab and can be pasted into another plan. Uncolored stitches clear destination stitches; blocked slots are skipped.

Round 1 is at the top; read down through the rounds. Hatched slots have no stitch. Dashed marks indicate increase points. Thicker borders mark schematic added stitches, not exact stitch ancestry. Use arrow keys to move, Space or Enter to paint.
