Results update automatically when all fields contain valid values.

Formula and assumptions

Width and height use their own measured after-to-before ratios. This is a projection from your swatch, not a safe stretching target.

Worked example

Example: a swatch changing from 10 × 10 cm to 11 × 9 cm projects a 50 × 60 cm piece to about 55 × 54 cm.

Limits and rounding

Results are planning estimates from the values entered. Displayed decimals are rounded for craft use; whole materials and repeats round up where the method says so. Confirm gauge, material behavior, construction, and finished measurements before committing supplies.
