How Knit-Along Progress Tracker Works?

The Knit-Along Progress Tracker works by tracking the Current Clue of a knit-along (KAL) or mystery knit-along (MKAL) and the Rows in Clue you have worked. Each clue is a section released on a schedule.

  1. Set the clue number

    Tap the count pad or press Space when you start a new clue.

  2. Count the clue rows

    Press → for each row of the current clue.

  3. Reset per clue

    Bring Rows in Clue back to 0 with ← when a new clue begins.

  4. Stay on schedule

    Compare the clue you are on with the clue released this week.

Knit-Along Progress Tracker Formula

The Knit-Along Progress Tracker formula is KAL progress = (finished clues + rows in clue ÷ clue rows) ÷ total clues × 100.

Progress
P = (c − 1 + r ÷ R) ÷ C × 100

c is Current Clue, r is Rows in Clue, R is the clue's rows and C is total clues.

Clues behind
Behind = released − finished

Behind tells you how many clues to catch up.

Rows per day
Rows ÷ days to next clue

Plan a daily target.

Worked example: On clue 3 of 5 with 24 of 40 rows done, the MKAL is (2 + 0.6) ÷ 5 = 52% done.

Knit-Along Progress Tracker Conversion Table

What is Knit-Along Progress Tracker?

A Knit-Along Progress Tracker is a tool that tracks clues and rows in a group knit-along. KALs release a pattern in parts, and knitters work each part on the same schedule.

Mystery KALs reveal the design one clue at a time, so you only see one clue's rows. Counting clue rows keeps you on pace with the group.

The Stitches Counter tool saves the clue and rows in your browser.
