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

Knitting Chart

Knitting Chart is a free web app for drawing knitting charts. You can chart colorwork stitch by stitch or with a fill tool, add symbols for purls, yarn overs, decreases and slips, and view the chart in true stitch proportions for your gauge. It can also turn a photo into a chart.

Charts export as a PDF with a colour and symbol key and row-by-row written instructions, or as PNG. Core tools need no account and charts are stored in your browser; an optional one-time Pro upgrade adds account saving, sync across devices and selection tools.

  • Colorwork and stitch symbol charts
  • True stitch proportions based on your gauge
  • Photo to chart conversion
  • PDF with colour/symbol key and written row instructions
  • Mirror, rotate and resize
  • No account needed for core tools
