Example: Knitting Chart and Stitch-Count Builder
Turn entered stitch-symbol rows into a repeat-aware chart with a legend, row directions and stitch counts.

- Repeats
- Each row expands its entered stitch list. Counts add the stitches consumed and produced by its declared symbols, including increases and decreases.

A chart count is not a garment-size calculation
Gauge, yarn, shaping and finishing affect a physical piece. The page organizes your supplied symbols and repeats; it does not predict fit or replace a pattern’s instructions. Keep the legend with the printed chart so each symbol retains its intended meaning.
Questions about Knitting Chart and Stitch-Count Builder
Does it infer stitches from a photo?
No. You enter the symbol rows.
What do the counts describe?
Symbol occurrences and stitches consumed and produced by each expanded row. These counts do not prove that successive rows form a valid pattern.
Can it choose a garment size?
No. Gauge and fit remain outside this chart builder.
