Project Assembly Counter

How Project Assembly Counter Works?

The Project Assembly Counter works by counting Seams Completed toward Total Seams during finishing. Seams, attachments and ends to weave all count as steps.

1. 1

   List the finishing steps

   List each seam: 2 shoulders, 2 side seams, 2 sleeve seams, 2 sleeve attachments, 1 neckband.

2. 2

   Set the total

   Press → to set Total Seams.

3. 3

   Log each step

   Tap the count pad or press Space when each seam is done.

4. 4

   Finish the ends

   Count woven ends as steps too, if you like.

Project Assembly Counter Formula

The Project Assembly Counter formula is assembly progress = seams completed ÷ total seams × 100. Seaming yarn equals about 3 times the seam length.

Progress

P = C ÷ T × 100

C is Seams Completed and T is Total Seams.

Seam yarn

Yarn ≈ 3 × seam length

Mattress stitch uses about 3 times the seam length.

Seams left

Left = T − C

Left is the steps still to do.

Worked example: A set-in sleeve sweater has 9 seams. At 6 done, assembly is 67% complete.

Project Assembly Counter Conversion Table

The Project Assembly Counter conversion table lists seams and seaming yarn for 5 projects.

Use the project yarn for seams unless it is fragile or very fuzzy.

What is Project Assembly Counter?

A Project Assembly Counter is a tool that checks off seams and attachments during finishing. Assembly turns knitted or crocheted pieces into a finished item.

Finishing often stalls halfway. A count of seams done keeps the job moving.

The Stitches Counter tool saves the seams done and the total in your browser.
