"An instant classic for the knitter’s bookshelf" – Modern Daily Knitting

Do you find yourself avoiding patterns because they don't exactly match your yarn or measurements? This book is your key to pattern freedom! Math for Knitters is a practical guide that transforms intimidating knitting calculations into simple arithmetic anyone can master.

Finally understand what gauge really means and how to work with it when yours doesn't precisely match the pattern. Learn to confidently substitute yarns without running short or wasting money. Customize garments to fit your unique body by making strategic alterations.

Author Kate Atherley approaches this book just like she does her sold-out classes: She breaks down complex concepts into bite-sized, approachable pieces.

  • Yarn Substitution Made Simple – Calculate yardage, convert measurements, and never run short of yarn again
  • Gauge Demystified – Master the most crucial knitting concept with clear guidance
  • Pattern Customization – Modify any pattern for perfect fit and personal style, and learn when it's best to choose a different pattern instead
  • Garment Alterations – Adjust length, shaping, and sizing without complex math
  • No Advanced Math Required – Just basic arithmetic using everyday tools

No more skipping patterns because they don't come in your exact size or settling for garments that don't fit quite right. With clear examples and straightforward methods, you'll gain the skills to adapt appropriate patterns to your needs—and identify when it's time to look for a different pattern better suited to what you want.

The best part? You only need basic arithmetic—no complex math required! Whether you're a beginner ready to move beyond the basics or an experienced knitter wanting more control, this book will transform your crafting experience.
