This crochet increase calculator helps determine how many stitches need to be added evenly across rows or rounds. Enter the starting stitch count, final stitch count, and the number of rows to calculate the number of increases needed per row.
How to use calculator
Enter the number of stitches you start with, the final stitch count you want to reach, and the number of rows or rounds over which increases will occur. The calculator estimates how many stitches should be increased in each row.
Explanation
Crochet patterns often require increases to shape garments, hats, or circular projects. Increases are usually spread evenly across rows to keep the fabric balanced.
This calculator determines how many stitches need to be added per row to reach the desired stitch count.
Example math
If you start with 60 stitches and want to reach 120 stitches over 10 rows:
120 − 60 = 60 stitches added
Then divide by the number of rows:
60 ÷ 10 = 6 increases per row
So you would increase 6 stitches in each row.
