Project Planning Guide
Factors Affecting Knitting Speed
Pattern Complexity
- • Simple stockinette: Fastest
- • Basic textures: 30% slower
- • Cables and colorwork: 60% slower
- • Complex lace: 100% slower
Yarn Weight Impact
- • Bulky yarn: Fewer stitches, faster progress
- • Fingering weight: More stitches, slower progress
- • Consider total stitch count, not just time per stitch
