Lace Repeat Calculator
Calculate stitch count adjustments for lace pattern repeats across different widths.
How We Calculate This
This calculator finds how many whole lace pattern repeats fit across a given width, accounting for edge stitches and balance stitches.
The formula
Raw stitches = Target width × (Gauge ÷ 10)
Available stitches = Raw stitches − (Edge stitches × 2) − Balance stitches
Full repeats = round(Available ÷ Repeat width)
Total stitches = (Full repeats × Repeat width) + Edges + Balance
The calculator also shows the nearest smaller and larger options so you can pick the best fit for your project.
