This is a simple spreadsheet designed to help people design circular shawls.

Circular Shawl Spreadsheet

Please save your own copy in order to use the spreadsheet.

You plug in the number of stitches you want to cast on in the green box, and the spreadsheet will do the rest of the work.

It will give you the stitch count after each increase row, the actual number of rows between increase rows, and the “useable” rows after each increase.

For “useable” rows I am assuming you wish to maintain the k1, yo motif intact and thus 1 workable row is “lost” to maintaining it. Of course, it has not gone anywhere and if you wish to use it in your pattern, simply use the actual number column.

Also, the row numbers are set for simplicity. If you want to knit more than one row before starting increases, just ignore the row numbers column. This is only a guide.
