Pattern grading (resize sizes)

Inches or % scale, quick size jumps, visual bars, stitch/row repeats, and a copyable summary.

Width → stitches (bust, hip, brim…)

Use real finished inches, or switch to Percent if you only know “about 10% bigger”—same math either way.

Finished width — pattern size (in)

Finished width — target size (in)

Stitches across that width (as written)

Stitch repeat (optional)

Jump target from pattern

Many women's charts step the bust about +2″ per size—tweak to match your brand or schematic.

Length → rows (body, sleeve, crown…)

Inches for hem-to-underarm type math, or percent for “5% longer torso” without measuring tape.

Finished length — pattern size (in)

Finished length — target size (in)

Rows over that length

Row repeat (optional)

Jump target from pattern

Results

Stitches for target width

×1.111

Reference: 80 sts / 36"
Raw scaled: 88.9 sts
Use about: 89 sts

Rows for target length

×1.167

Reference: 24 rows / 12"
Raw scaled: 28.0 rows
Use about: 28 rows

Linear grading assumes your stitch and row gauge match the original pattern when you work the new size—same yarn weight, hook, and tension. Ease, drape, lace openings, and cables won't scale perfectly; use this as a starting point and always check fit on the body or a schematic.

Need stitches per inch first? Use the gauge calculator. Even shaping across a row: increase & decrease.
