Gaugewise Support

Help

Use Gaugewise when you want to check whether a pattern, yarn, swatch and available stash quantity look enough, risky or short before buying yarn or casting on.

Gaugewise works from the details you enter. It explains the estimate and the assumptions behind it. It does not guarantee fit, finished size, yardage, colour match or project success.

Gaugewise is a local yarn-fit calculator and decision record for knitters and crocheters.

It helps compare pattern details, yarn details, swatch measurements, stash quantity, buffer and warnings before buying yarn or casting on.

Gaugewise does not:

recommend the best yarn

sell yarn

send you to sellers

read patterns or labels

use AI

use the camera

import pattern libraries

count rows

track session time

provide lessons

provide sizing, fit or professional craft advice

No.

Support can explain how the app calculates and what the fields mean. It cannot provide individualised pattern, fit, sizing, yarn or professional advice.

Getting Help

• Start with the pattern details you know, such as gauge/tension, row gauge when available, the pattern's yarn requirement in yards or metres, target measurement and repeat multiple.
• Then enter candidate yarn or stash details, such as yards or metres per ball or skein, grams or ounces per ball or skein, quantity available and dye lot when that matters.
• If an optional detail is missing, Gaugewise should mark the affected output unavailable instead of inventing a value.
• Gauge/tension connects stitches and rows to real dimensions. It can change by maker, yarn, stitch pattern, needle or hook size, blocking and project type.
• Use after-blocking gauge/tension for finished-size decisions when you have it. Keep before-blocking measurements when they help explain the difference.
• Buffer adds extra yarn to the estimated need to reduce shortfall risk. It does not guarantee enough yarn.
• Repeat rounding can add or remove stitches so a stitch pattern still fits. Review the changed width or circumference before trusting the rounded count.
• Save a decision when you want to review the same yarn-fit check later.
• Export a decision when you want a self-contained record with inputs, units, assumptions, buffer, warnings and result label.
• Exports are for review and discussion. They are not professional advice or a pattern conversion service.
