Even Stitch Decrease Calculator
Find out exactly how to space your decreases evenly across a knitting or crochet row.
How to use
- Enter your current stitch count — the number you have on your needles now.
- Enter your desired stitch count — it must be lower than the current count.
- Select your craft type to get the correct decrease abbreviation.
- Click Calculate Decreases for step-by-step written instructions.
- When decreases don't divide perfectly, the calculator creates two groups: some sections with slightly different spacing so the result is as even as possible.
A k2tog (knit 2 together) reduces your stitch count by 1. A sc2tog (single crochet 2 together) does the same in crochet.
