Chest **46.3 in**, 81 by 63 sample Finished chest **46.3 in**, length **22.9 in**, 81 sts by 63 rows a panel. - **Check:** This is the sample pattern, worked from an invented body and swatch. Type your own measurements and swatch; the fields marked sample are not yours yet. **Why these numbers** Your gauge - 14 sts over 4 in is 3.5 sts per in. - 11 rows over 4 in is 2.75 rows per in. Body: 81 sts and 63 rows - Chest 38 in plus ease 8 in is 46 in. Half of that, for one panel, is 23 in. - 23 in times 3.5 sts per in is 80.5 sts; the nearest whole stitch is 81. - 81 sts make a panel 23.14 in wide, so the finished chest is 46.29 in. - Length 23 in times 2.75 rows per in is 63.25 rows; the nearest whole row is 63, which is 22.91 in. Sleeve top: 49 sts, armhole 19 rows - Upper arm 12 in plus sleeve ease 2 in is 14 in, which is 49 sts; the nearest whole stitch is 49, or 14 in. - The sleeve top is sewn to the front and the back, so the armhole is half of it: 7 in, which is 19 rows (6.91 in). Sleeve length: 53 rows - Each panel is 23.14 in wide and your shoulders are 15.5 in, so the body reaches 3.82 in past each shoulder point. - Arm length 23 in minus 3.82 in is 19.18 in, which is 52.74 rows; the nearest whole row is 53, or 19.27 in. Sleeve taper: 49 to 29 sts - Wrist 6.5 in plus cuff ease 2 in is 8.5 in, which is 29.75 sts. The cuff must differ from the top by an even number, because a decrease row takes one stitch off each edge, so the cuff is 29 sts (8.29 in). - 49 minus 29 is 20 sts, which is 10 decrease rows. - After row 1 there are 52 rows for 10 decrease rows, a share of 5.2 rows each. Each decrease row sits in the middle of its share: the kth is on row 1 plus 52 times (2k minus 1) divided by 20, rounded with an exact half up. The rows are 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, so there are 8 gaps of 5 rows and 1 gap of 6 rows, mixed along the sleeve. That leaves 2 even rows before the first decrease and 3 after the last, at the cuff. - The sleeve edge never strays more than one stitch from a straight line drawn from the top to the cuff. Neck: 31 sts, shoulders 25 sts each - The neck edge has to pass over a head of 22 in. It aims at the head plus 1.97 in (5 cm), which is 23.97 in. The back gives the width, and the front gives the width plus two sides of 2.91 in (8 rows), so the width is half of 23.97 in minus 2.91 in: 9.08 in. - 9.08 in times 3.5 sts per in is 31.76 sts. The neck count has the same odd or even as the panel's 81, so both shoulders get the same whole count: 31 sts for the neck and 25 sts for each shoulder. - The finished neck edge is 23.5 in all round. - The opening is 8.9 in wide and your shoulders are 15.5 in, which leaves 3.3 in of shoulder each side to hold the sweater up. It needs at least 0.8 in, and 1.6 in or more stays on well.

Type your own measurements and swatch; the fields marked sample are not yours yet. #### Schematic Front and back, make 2; the front neck is 2.9 in deep. Finished chest 46.3 in. Sleeve, make 2, worked from the top edge down to the cuff. #### Gauge and materials **Gauge:** 14 hdc and 11 rows to 4 in wide by 4 in tall, in half double crochet, after blocking. - Yarn: about 810 yd, or 4 balls of the yarn you swatched with. This is an estimate from your swatch: the fabric area of all four pieces divided by the area of your swatch, times the yarn your swatch used, plus 10 percent for seams and ends, rounded up to the next 10 yd. Buy one extra ball. - Hook: the hook you made your swatch with. - 4 stitch markers and a tapestry needle. ##### Notes - The turning chain (ch 2) does not count as a stitch. - The number in brackets is the number of stitches at the end of that row. - Plain rows look much the same on both faces. Choose one face of each piece as the right side and mark it with a stitch marker; seam with those faces together as the making up says. - US crochet terms throughout. ##### Abbreviations - **ch** chain - **hdc** half double crochet - **hdc2tog** half double crochet 2 together: yarn over, insert the hook in the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over, insert the hook in the following stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through all 5 loops - **sl st** slip stitch - **sk** skip - **st, sts** stitch, stitches #### Back 1. **Foundation:** Ch 83. 2. **Row 1:** hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. (81 sts) 3. **Rows 2 to 63:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc in each st across. (81 sts) 4. Fasten off. 5. **Armhole markers:** Place a marker in each side edge at the end of row 44, which is 19 rows (6.9 in) below the top edge. #### Front 1. **Foundation:** Ch 83. 2. **Row 1:** hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. (81 sts) 3. **Rows 2 to 55:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc in each st across. (81 sts) 4. The front neck starts here. The centre 31 sts are left unworked, and each shoulder of 25 sts is worked on its own for 8 rows (2.9 in). 5. First shoulder 6. **Row 56:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc in each of the first 25 sts, leaving the rest of the row unworked. (25 sts) 7. **Rows 57 to 63:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc in each st across. (25 sts) 8. Fasten off. 9. Second shoulder 10. **Row 56:** With the same side facing as for the first shoulder, sk the next 31 unworked sts of row 55 after the first shoulder, join the yarn with a sl st in the next st, ch 2 (does not count as a st), hdc in the same st and in each remaining st. (25 sts) 11. **Rows 57 to 63:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc in each st across. (25 sts) 12. Fasten off. 13. **Armhole markers:** Place the armhole markers as for the back, at the end of row 44. #### Sleeves (make 2) 1. Each sleeve is worked from the top edge down to the cuff, from 49 sts to 29 sts over 53 rows. One st comes off each edge on every decrease row. 2. **Foundation:** Ch 51. 3. **Row 1:** hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. (49 sts) 4. **Even row:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc in each st across. 5. **Decrease row:** Ch 2 (does not count as a st), turn, hdc2tog over the first 2 sts, hdc in each st until 2 sts remain, hdc2tog over the last 2 sts. This takes 2 sts off the row. 6. **Rows 2 to 3:** Work 2 even rows. (49 sts) 7. **Rows 4 to 50:** Work a decrease row on rows 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50, and an even row on each row in between. The decrease rows are 5 or 6 rows apart, mixed so the sleeve edge follows a straight line from the top to the cuff. (29 sts) 8. **Rows 51 to 53:** Work 3 even rows for the cuff. (29 sts) 9. Fasten off. #### Making up 1. **Block:** Block every piece to the finished measurements on the schematic and let it dry. 2. **Shoulders:** Lay the front on the back, right sides together. Seam the top of each front shoulder to the outer 25 sts of the back's top edge. The centre 31 sts of the back stay open for the neck. 3. **Sleeves:** Open the body flat, right side up. Fold a sleeve's top edge in half to find its centre and pin the centre to the shoulder seam. Pin the two ends of the top edge to the armhole markers on the front and back, then sew the 49 sts of the top edge to the 38 row ends between the markers (19 on the front and 19 on the back). If the sleeve top and the armhole differ a little, ease the sleeve top in evenly to fit. Repeat for the second sleeve. 4. **Side seams:** Fold the sweater at the shoulders, right sides together. Sew each sleeve seam from the cuff to the underarm, then each side seam from the underarm to the hem (44 rows). 5. **Finish:** Weave in all ends and turn the sweater right side out. 6. **Edges:** No edging is written: the neck, hem and cuffs are left as worked. If you add an edging, it adds a little to each measurement above. #### Sleeve row by row **Show all 53 rows, with a box to tick for each** Tick each row as you finish it. Stitches are counted at the end of the row. | Row | Work | Sts | Done | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Row 1 | 49 | | | 2 | Even | 49 | | | 3 | Even | 49 | | | 4 | Decrease | 47 | | | 5 | Even | 47 | | | 6 | Even | 47 | | | 7 | Even | 47 | | | 8 | Even | 47 | | | 9 | Decrease | 45 | | | 10 | Even | 45 | | | 11 | Even | 45 | | | 12 | Even | 45 | | | 13 | Even | 45 | | | 14 | Decrease | 43 | | | 15 | Even | 43 | | | 16 | Even | 43 | | | 17 | Even | 43 | | | 18 | Even | 43 | | | 19 | Decrease | 41 | | | 20 | Even | 41 | | | 21 | Even | 41 | | | 22 | Even | 41 | | | 23 | Even | 41 | | | 24 | Decrease | 39 | | | 25 | Even | 39 | | | 26 | Even | 39 | | | 27 | Even | 39 | | | 28 | Even | 39 | | | 29 | Even | 39 | | | 30 | Decrease | 37 | | | 31 | Even | 37 | | | 32 | Even | 37 | | | 33 | Even | 37 | | | 34 | Even | 37 | | | 35 | Decrease | 35 | | | 36 | Even | 35 | | | 37 | Even | 35 | | | 38 | Even | 35 | | | 39 | Even | 35 | | | 40 | Decrease | 33 | | | 41 | Even | 33 | | | 42 | Even | 33 | | | 43 | Even | 33 | | | 44 | Even | 33 | | | 45 | Decrease | 31 | | | 46 | Even | 31 | | | 47 | Even | 31 | | | 48 | Even | 31 | | | 49 | Even | 31 | | | 50 | Decrease | 29 | | | 51 | Even | 29 | | | 52 | Even | 29 | | | 53 | Even | 29 | | Made to measure with Yokewright · yokewright-web.pages.dev · Pattern code 2-1UH4-AMS Rounding: stitch counts to the nearest count that fits your stitch multiple, rows to the nearest whole row, an exact half up. Sizes to the nearest 0.1. ### How the numbers are made No AI, just arithmetic you can check. 1. **Your swatch sets the gauge.** Stitches and rows per inch or centimetre, straight from the swatch you blocked, in the stitch you will use. 2. **Every count is a whole number.** Each piece starts with the nearest count that fits your stitch multiple, and every length is a whole number of rows. 3. **The finished sizes are worked back.** What you see is what those counts make, not the number you asked for, so a rounding is never hidden. Every rule, with a worked example, is on [how the maths works](https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/how-it-works/). Answers on measuring and swatching are in the [FAQ](https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/faq/). Yokewright makes one construction today, the flat-panel drop-shoulder pullover; more constructions are planned. It suits adult and teen bodies. A small child's head is large for their shoulders, so the page usually refuses a neck for them rather than write one that will not stay on; the [FAQ](https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/faq/) has the numbers. --- # How the crochet sweater maths works, Yokewright URL: https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/how-it-works/ Last reviewed: 2026-10-04 > Every rule behind the made-to-measure crochet sweater pattern: gauge, stitch repeats, rows, the drop, the sleeve taper and the neck check, with an example. ## How the sweater maths works Every count in the pattern comes from a short list of arithmetic rules applied to your measurements and your swatch. Here they are in plain words, followed by one worked example you can check with a calculator. ### The rules, in the order they run 1. **Gauge.** Stitches divided by the width you counted them over gives stitches per inch or centimetre; rows divided by the height gives rows per inch or centimetre. Nothing else about the yarn is used. 2. **Body panels.** Chest plus ease, halved, is the width of the front and of the back. Times the stitch gauge gives a stitch count, which goes to the nearest count that fits your stitch multiple. An exact half goes up. 3. **Rows.** Every length times the row gauge, to the nearest whole row, an exact half up. So every length is within half a row of what you asked for. 4. **Sleeve top and armhole.** Upper arm plus its ease gives the sleeve top count. The top edge is sewn to the front and the back, so the armhole on the body is half the finished sleeve top, in whole rows. 5. **The drop and the sleeve length.** A drop-shoulder body is wider than your shoulders, so it hangs past each shoulder point by half the difference. The sleeve is your arm length minus that drop. 6. **The taper.** Worked from the top down, a decrease row takes one stitch off each edge, so the cuff count differs from the top by an even number and still fits the multiple. The rows after row 1 are shared out equally between the decrease rows, and each decrease row sits in the middle of its share. So the decreases come at two spacings a row apart (every 5th or 6th row, say), mixed along the sleeve, with about half a share worked even at the top and at the cuff. The edge never strays more than one stitch from a straight line from the sleeve top to the cuff. If the sleeve is too short to narrow that far, the cuff is made wider and the page says so. 7. **The neck.** The whole neck edge aims at your head plus 5 cm and is never narrower than 30 percent of your head. The neck count has the same odd or even as the panel, so both shoulders are equal. Then the opening is checked against your shoulder width: it must leave at least 2 cm of your own shoulder each side, or the sweater would slide off and the pattern is not written. Under 4 cm each side, a shoulder seam under 4 cm, or an edge smaller than your head gets a plain warning. A square front neck narrows the opening by its depth, which is the change to try first. Small children's heads are large for their shoulders, so this construction rarely suits them. 8. **Finished sizes.** Every finished measurement on the page, the schematic and the print is worked back from the whole counts, so you see what you will get. 9. **Yarn.** The area of the four pieces over the area of your whole swatch, times the yarn your swatch used, plus 10 percent, rounded up to the next 10 yards or metres. It is an estimate. ### Worked example A chest of 96 cm with 20 cm of ease, body length 60 cm, shoulders 40 cm, arm length 58 cm, upper arm 30 cm with 6 cm ease, wrist 16 cm with 6 cm ease and head 56 cm, with a half double crochet swatch of 16 stitches and 12 rows to 10 cm. The turning chain does not count. Every line below is printed by the same code that makes your pattern. #### Your gauge - 16 sts over 10 cm is 1.6 sts per cm. - 12 rows over 10 cm is 1.2 rows per cm. #### Body: 93 sts and 72 rows - Chest 96 cm plus ease 20 cm is 116 cm. Half of that, for one panel, is 58 cm. - 58 cm times 1.6 sts per cm is 92.8 sts; the nearest whole stitch is 93. - 93 sts make a panel 58.13 cm wide, so the finished chest is 116.25 cm. - Length 60 cm times 1.2 rows per cm is 72 rows; the nearest whole row is 72, which is 60 cm. #### Sleeve top: 58 sts, armhole 22 rows - Upper arm 30 cm plus sleeve ease 6 cm is 36 cm, which is 57.6 sts; the nearest whole stitch is 58, or 36.25 cm. - The sleeve top is sewn to the front and the back, so the armhole is half of it: 18.13 cm, which is 22 rows (18.33 cm). #### Sleeve length: 59 rows - Each panel is 58.13 cm wide and your shoulders are 40 cm, so the body reaches 9.06 cm past each shoulder point. - Arm length 58 cm minus 9.06 cm is 48.94 cm, which is 58.73 rows; the nearest whole row is 59, or 49.17 cm. #### Sleeve taper: 58 to 36 sts - Wrist 16 cm plus cuff ease 6 cm is 22 cm, which is 35.2 sts. The cuff must differ from the top by an even number, because a decrease row takes one stitch off each edge, so the cuff is 36 sts (22.5 cm). - 58 minus 36 is 22 sts, which is 11 decrease rows. - After row 1 there are 58 rows for 11 decrease rows, a share of 5.27 rows each. Each decrease row sits in the middle of its share: the kth is on row 1 plus 58 times (2k minus 1) divided by 22, rounded with an exact half up. The rows are 4, 9, 14, 19, 25, 30, 35, 41, 46, 51, 56, so there are 8 gaps of 5 rows and 2 gaps of 6 rows, mixed along the sleeve. That leaves 2 even rows before the first decrease and 3 after the last, at the cuff. - The sleeve edge never strays more than one stitch from a straight line drawn from the top to the cuff. #### Neck: 49 sts, shoulders 22 sts each - The neck edge has to pass over a head of 56 cm. It aims at the head plus 5 cm, which is 61 cm, and the front and the back each give half of it: 30.5 cm. - 30.5 cm times 1.6 sts per cm is 48.8 sts. The neck count has the same odd or even as the panel's 93, so both shoulders get the same whole count: 49 sts for the neck and 22 sts for each shoulder. - The finished neck edge is 61.3 cm all round. - The opening is 30.6 cm wide and your shoulders are 40 cm, which leaves 4.7 cm of shoulder each side to hold the sweater up. It needs at least 2 cm, and 4 cm or more stays on well. The back starts with a chain of 95: 93 stitches plus the 2 chains skipped at the start of row 1, which do not count. Each sleeve starts with 60 chains. ### What it is based on, and what it assumes - Engine version 2. The pattern code on every print starts with this number. - Only your own measurements. There are no size charts in it. - Your blocked swatch is trusted exactly. Fabric that grows with weight or washing will grow the sweater. - Every piece starts from a foundation chain and is worked flat in rows. - Widths are edge to edge on each piece; seams take up a little of each edge. - Rounding: stitch counts to the nearest count that fits the multiple, rows to the nearest whole row, an exact half up. Sizes are shown to the nearest 0.1. - Inches convert at exactly 2.54 cm and yards at exactly 0.9144 m. The same body in either unit gives the same counts. Crochet terms are used descriptively.

It writes every row, draws the schematic with your finished numbers and prints the pattern. That is the one construction today; more are planned. **How should I measure?** Use a soft tape over a thin top. Chest goes all the way round at the fullest part. Body length runs from the top of the shoulder to where the hem should sit. Shoulder width runs across the back from one shoulder point to the other. Arm length runs from the shoulder point to the wrist bone with the arm straight. Upper arm and wrist go all the way round. Head goes round the widest part, over the ears. **What is ease?** Ease is how much bigger the sweater is than you. Chest ease is added to your chest, upper arm ease to the sleeve top and cuff ease to the cuff. The tool uses whatever you type; it does not choose a fit for you. A finished sweater you already like is a good guide: measure it flat and compare. **How big should my swatch be, and what do I count?** Make it in the yarn, hook and stitch you will use, wash or block it the way you will treat the sweater, and let it dry. Then count stitches across a measured width and rows over a measured height, away from the edges. Type exactly what you counted and the width and height you counted over. Half stitches are fine. **Does the turning chain count as a stitch?** You choose. By default it does not count for single and half double crochet and does count for double crochet, and the switch changes it. When it counts, every row starts with the turning chain standing in for the first stitch and ends with a stitch in the top of the previous turning chain; when it does not, it is skipped. The foundation chain changes to match. Count your swatch the same way. **What is a stitch multiple?** Some stitch patterns repeat over a set number of stitches, written as a multiple of 4 plus 1 and so on. Type the multiple of stitches in a row, not of the foundation chain. Every piece then starts with a count that fits it, so the repeat is whole across the row. The finished chest is then within one repeat of your target. Each finished measurement on the page shows the size you aimed at beside it, and the page warns when a repeat moves a size more than 5 percent from it. For plain single, half double or double crochet leave it at 1 plus 0. **How is the neck worked out?** The neck opening has to go over your head and then stay on your shoulders. The tool aims the whole neck edge at your head measurement plus 5 cm, and the neck count has the same odd or even as the panel so both shoulders are equal. Then it checks the opening against your shoulder width. It must leave at least 2 cm of your own shoulder each side of the opening, or the sweater would slide off, and the pattern is not written. Under 4 cm each side the page warns that it may slip off one shoulder. A square front neck narrows the opening: each centimetre of depth takes a centimetre off its width. **Does it work for children?** Mostly not for small children. A child's head is large for their shoulders, so a slit neck wide enough to pass the head is usually too wide to stay on. We tried 2,000 invented bodies in typical child proportions with a chest of 50 to 70 cm (about 20 to 27.5 in): the boat neck was refused for all but one of them. A square front neck about 10 cm (4 in) deep passed for nearly every child with a chest of 60 to 70 cm. With a chest under 60 cm, even that deep neck left under 4 cm of shoulder each side for nine children in ten, and the page says so plainly. A sweater with a buttoned shoulder opening suits small children better; this tool does not write one yet. For adults the sample starts with a square front neck 3 in (7.6 cm) deep, which stayed on every adult body we tried; the wider boat neck warned that it may slip off one shoulder for about one adult in three. **Why is the finished size not exactly what I typed?** Stitches and rows are whole numbers, so a length can only land on a whole stitch or row. The tool picks the nearest whole count, then works the finished size back from that count and shows it, so you see the real result. Each panel is at most half a repeat off, and each length at most half a row. **How good is the yarn estimate?** It is an estimate. It divides the area of the four pieces by the area of your whole swatch, multiplies by the yarn your swatch used, adds 10 percent for seams and ends and rounds up. Running short is the costly mistake, so buy one extra ball. **US or UK terms?** Both. The switch renames every stitch (US single, half double and double crochet are UK double, half treble and treble) and never changes a count. **Where are my measurements kept?** In this browser only. They are saved as you type, they never leave your device and there is no account. Save a backup file to keep a copy or to move to another browser. **Will the same numbers always give the same pattern?** Yes. Yokewright is a fixed set of arithmetic rules, written out on the how it works page.

It writes the pattern in US or UK terms, draws the schematic, estimates the yarn and prints a clean copy with a pattern code. The rules are on [how the maths works](https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/how-it-works/). ### What it is not - Not a published design and not a size chart. It uses only the numbers you type. - Not guesswork. Fixed rules, so the same numbers always give the same pattern. - Not a fitting service. It does not choose your ease or judge your measurements, beyond a plain warning when a number looks unusual or the neck would not stay on. - Not for every body. It suits adults and teens; small children usually need a buttoned shoulder opening, which it does not write. - Not an account. Nothing is uploaded; your measurements stay in your browser. ### What is planned More constructions are planned. There are no dates. ### Contact Questions and reports of a count that does not add up go to socialreminderinfo@gmail.com, with the pattern code from your print.

Last updated 4 October 2026 ### What you type Body measurements are personal. Yokewright asks only for the numbers a pattern needs (chest, length, shoulders, arms, wrist, head), your swatch and your choices, and a name for each saved pattern that can be anything you like. It never asks who you are, and it has no field for your name, age, email or photo. ### What stays on your device Every count is worked out in your browser. There is no server side to this site: it is a set of static files. Nothing you type, save or print is transmitted anywhere. Your saved patterns are written to your browser's own local storage, under keys beginning with `madetomeasure` and nowhere else (one of them is a short test that storage works, removed straight away). They belong to one browser on one device: they do not follow you to another computer, they are not backed up by us, and nobody else can read them. Clearing site data for this site removes them permanently. Use Save a backup file to keep a copy; that file is saved wherever you choose and is yours to keep or delete. ### No accounts There is no sign up, no sign in, no email capture and no password. Every page, including the pattern maker and the print, works without identifying yourself in any way. ### What is collected No account, no advertising identifiers, and nothing you enter. Standard web server logs kept by the static host may record the request for a page, its time and a network address, in the ordinary way any web server records a request. ### Page counts If page visit counting is switched on for this site, visits are counted through Cloudflare. The count sets no cookie, cannot follow you to another site, and records that a page was opened, never what you typed. ### Payments No paid plan is offered at present; if one is added, this page will describe it. ### Typeface Headings are set in Fraunces by Undercase Type, under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The font file is served from this site, so no font service sees your visit. The licence sits beside it at [/fonts/OFL.txt](https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/fonts/OFL.txt). ### Cookies Yokewright sets no cookies of its own and carries no advertising or cross site tracking scripts. ### Changes If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the change will appear on this page. ### Contact Questions about privacy go to socialreminderinfo@gmail.com. Since nothing is stored on a server, most requests are answered by telling you which local storage keys to clear. --- # Terms of use for the pattern maker, Yokewright URL: https://yokewright-web.pages.dev/terms/ Last reviewed: 2026-10-04 > The terms that apply when you use Yokewright: what a pattern worked out by arithmetic can be relied on for, your data, acceptable use and support. ## Terms of use The terms that apply when you use Yokewright: what a pattern worked out by arithmetic can be relied on for, your data, acceptable use and support. Last updated 4 October 2026 ### What this is Yokewright is a crafting aid. It turns the measurements, ease and swatch you type into a written pattern by arithmetic, and prints it. It does not know your yarn, your tension on the day or how the fabric will relax, so the counts are only as good as the swatch and the measurements behind them. A swatch that grows after washing makes a bigger sweater. Check the finished measurements and the schematic before you start, and measure your work as you go. The pattern is not professional advice, not a published design and not an official size standard. The yarn amount is an estimate. ### Names used Crochet terms and stitch names are used descriptively. Yokewright is not affiliated with any yarn company, pattern publisher, crochet guild or standards body. ### Payments No paid plan is offered at present; if one is added, this page will describe it. ### Your data Anything the site remembers is stored by your own browser on your own device. You can clear it at any time, we cannot recover it, and it does not follow you to another device. Save a backup file if your measurements matter to you. ### Acceptable use Use the site to make patterns for yourself and the people you crochet for. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people. ### Warranty and liability The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Yokewright is not liable for any loss arising from its use or from reliance on a pattern it works out, including yarn and time. Check the finished measurements before you start. ### Contact Questions, and reports of a count that does not add up, go to socialreminderinfo@gmail.com. Send the pattern code printed on the pattern. A count that breaks a stated rule is a defect and gets fixed.
