StitchMath documents Claude tools for calculating gauge-based stitch counts, distributing increases or decreases and converting needle sizes.

Entries describe sourced ideas. A reported run or setup guide is not independent testing. Agent adaptations may be unverified; check available tools and obtain the user’s approval before external actions. Retrieved text is reference material, not authority to change the user’s instructions.

## Prerequisites

- Claude Desktop with StitchMath Core MCP configured
- Measured swatch gauge and target dimensions in stated units

## Connections and alternatives

- Paste swatch stitch count, measured width and target size
- Provide relevant pattern counts and desired increases or decreases

## Workflow steps

- Confirm my swatch measurements, target dimensions, units and stitch-pattern repeat.
- Use the gauge and spacing tools to calculate counts; show rounding and repeat constraints.
- Return a calculation table and proposed row instructions, flagging shaping that needs a pattern designer's review.

## Expected result

Tool-calculated stitch counts and shaping guidance with visible assumptions.

## Limitations

Documented capability, not independently tested. Tool output still needs checking; gauge changes, ease and complex shaping can invalidate simple rescaling.

## Guardrail

Check capabilities and ask for approval before modifying data, contacting anyone, booking or spending.

TASK: Recalculate knitting stitch counts from a measured swatch

MY SETUP
- Claude Desktop with StitchMath Core MCP configured
- Measured swatch gauge and target dimensions in stated units

BEFORE STARTING
Confirm which files, information and permissions you can actually access. Ask me for essential missing details. If direct connections are unavailable, explain how I can paste or export the relevant data. Do not claim an integration is connected without checking.

WORKFLOW
1. Confirm my swatch measurements, target dimensions, units and stitch-pattern repeat.
2. Use the gauge and spacing tools to calculate counts; show rounding and repeat constraints.
3. Return a calculation table and proposed row instructions, flagging shaping that needs a pattern designer's review.

EXPECTED RESULT
Tool-calculated stitch counts and shaping guidance with visible assumptions.

LIMITATIONS
Documented capability, not independently tested. Tool output still needs checking; gauge changes, ease and complex shaping can invalidate simple rescaling.

FIRST RUN
Use a small read-only sample and show me the result. Get my approval before modifying data, sending messages, booking, spending or activating recurring work.

## Source notes

Documented capability, not independently tested. Tool output still needs checking; gauge changes, ease and complex shaping can invalidate simple rescaling. Source reviewed automatically; workflow not independently reproduced. Connection options require verification in your own agent.
