How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the initial number of stitches in your starting row.
  2. Enter the desired number of stitches you want to achieve.
  3. Enter the number of decreases you plan to make in each row.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to determine the number of rows needed.
  5. The calculator will display the number of rows required and the stitch decrease rate.

Example

If you start with 20 stitches, want to end with 10 stitches, and plan to decrease 2 stitches per row, the calculator will show that you need 5 rows to achieve the desired size.

Principle

The calculator works on the principle that each row you crochet decreases the number of stitches by the number you specify. By dividing the difference between the initial and desired stitches by the number of decreases per row, you can determine how many rows you need to complete your project.
