Printable Knitting Chart Grid
Free knitting chart grid at exact scale — with adjustable stitch-to-row gauge (rectangular cells).
Knitting stitches aren't square — they're wider than they are tall — so a proper knitting chart uses rectangular cells matching your gauge. This grid lets you set the stitch-to-row ratio so your charted design looks like the finished knitting, not a stretched version.
Enter your gauge, set the grid size, and print to chart colourwork, cables and lace accurately.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions
Why aren't the cells square?
Because knit stitches are wider than tall; rectangular cells make your chart match the real proportions of the fabric.
How do I set the gauge?
Enter your stitches-per-10cm and rows-per-10cm; the cell shape adjusts to match.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every template on printsheet.io is completely free, with no sign-up, no account and no watermark. Generate as many sheets as you like.
How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4, A5, A3, A6, US Letter, Legal and Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Pick the size that matches the paper loaded in your printer.
Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
Yes — choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The PDF keeps the exact millimetre dimensions.
