Incompetech Graph Paper

Incompetech offers free PDF graph paper generators. Its knitter’s graph paper uses rectangular cells that match the proportions of knitted stitches, so a motif drawn on paper looks right when knitted.

It is useful when you prefer to sketch charts by hand with pencils.

  • Knitter’s graph paper with proportional cells
  • Many grid types
  • Printable PDFs
