Chart paper with stitch-shaped cells, so colorwork designs look the same on paper as in the finished fabric.
About this paper
Knit stitches are wider than they are tall, so a motif charted on square graph paper comes out squashed when you knit it. Knitter’s graph paper uses rectangular cells instead, here 1.3 times as wide as they are tall, with a bold line every 10 stitches and rows.
To match your own gauge, divide rows per 10 cm (or 4 in) by stitches per 10 cm and use the result as the width ÷ height ratio. For example, 22 stitches and 30 rows gives about 1.36.
Most fabrics have more rows than stitches per inch, so each stitch is wider than tall. A circle charted on square paper comes out wide and flat once knitted. Matching the cell ratio to your gauge fixes that.
In the print dialog choose “Actual size”, “100%” or “No scaling”, and turn off “Fit to page” or “Shrink to fit”. To confirm, print our free calibration test sheet and measure the 10 cm line with a ruler.
