The calculator is currently FREE, a 100% discount is automatically applied at check-out. I want everyone to be able to improve the fit of their hand knit garments.
This Google Sheet will generate horizontal bust dart instructions for you.
There are 3 sheets:
- Introduction - This gives thorough instructions on how to use the calculator
- Imperial - The sheet to use if you prefer to work in inches
- Metric - The sheet to use if you prefer to work in centimeters
The calculator sheets have 5 green cells where you’ll need to input things like your gauge and how much depth you want to add. The calculator will then generate instructions based on your inputs. It includes instructions for both top down and bottom up knitting.
The calculator uses German short rows, but you can substitute your preferred method.
Note: This calculator gives instructions for a stockinette garment. If you are working a textured garment, you will want to use the Bust Dart Calculator for Textured Knits.
