The checking loop

One missed count. Another round of edits.

A change in one size can ripple through your pattern. Find mechanical inconsistencies before they create another round of checks and edits.

  • Repeated checks across every size
  • Matching charts to written rows
  • Updating every affected instruction
Knitting pattern pages, size tables and charts being reviewed beside a knitted swatch.
Across sizes. Across charts. Across every revision.

What Gradiqa checks

Mechanical checks. Human judgment.

  • Grading and stitch counts

    Look for count and grading inconsistencies across sizes, especially after shaping.

  • Charts and written rows

    Flag places where charted rows and written instructions point to different results.

  • Measurements and yardage

    Review measurements, shaping, and yardage where the draft provides enough structure.

  • Size-block instructions

    Surface places where one size or size block may need different instructions.

Common questions

Quick answers for designers.

What does Gradiqa check?

Gradiqa looks for grading and stitch-count inconsistencies, chart-to-written-instruction mismatches, measurement and yardage issues where the draft has enough structure, and places where one size block may need different instructions.

Does Gradiqa replace a tech editor or test knitter?

No. Gradiqa helps surface mechanical issues worth reviewing earlier. Tech editors still apply expertise and editorial judgment, and test knitters still reveal how real knitters interpret the pattern.

Who is the early tester program for?

Designers who publish paid, multi-size garment knitting patterns and want an assisted check before review. Early tests are private, workflow-friendly, and focused on mechanical checks.
