Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-05-26

These terms govern your use of knitcalcs.uk (the “site”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What the site provides

The site is a free library of knitting and crochet calculators plus reference content — covering yarn quantities, gauge and tension, stitch counts, garment sizing, shaping and project planning. It is provided “as is” without account registration or payment.

2. Accuracy and your own swatch

Calculators are estimates based on standard yarn weights, established knitting and crochet practice, and the gauge or tension figures you enter. Real-world results depend on your own tension, the specific yarn brand and fibre you use, your needle or hook, and how the finished piece behaves when blocked. Always knit or crochet a gauge (tension) swatch, measure it after blocking, and check your stitch and row counts before casting on a whole project or buying yarn.

Treat every result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Yarn quantities in particular can vary with stitch pattern, ease and individual tension, so buy a little extra from the same dye lot where you can. We round and estimate conservatively, but we cannot account for every pattern, fibre or knitter, so verify quantities and measurements against your own swatch and your pattern before you commit.

3. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the site;
loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business interruption, or anticipated savings;
wasted yarn, mis-sized garments, or errors or omissions in calculator output;
out-of-date citations where standards or yarn-weight conventions have since changed;
third-party links and their content.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

scrape the site in bulk using automated tools faster than a reasonable human pace;

5. Intellectual property

Page text, charts, UI design, calculator logic, and code are protected by copyright unless stated otherwise. You may:

6. Privacy

7. Changes to these terms
