A4 printable Knitters graph paper

Why use knitter’s graph paper? To help make colourwork designs easier and more successful, minimising any distortions.

If you’re feeling adventurous, it’s relatively easy to create your own colourwork design, and this can be a lovely way to personalise your project. A key to success is to understand that knitting stitches are not square but are actually rectangular.

If you use squared graph paper, your charted image would need be elongated as the actual stitches are shorter than they are wide. Using knitter’s graph paper with appropriately proportioned ‘squares’ is essential to take the guesswork out, and make it easy to directly transfer a simple drawing into a chart ready for knitting.
