So, how do you use this? Say your pattern is a midgauge one, and asks you to cast on 104 stitches and knit for 70 rows, and you want to convert it to standard gauge. You multiply every number by 1.44. So you would now cast on 149.7 stitches and knit 100.8 rows. I would round this off to 150 stitches and 100 rows.

You are a lifesaver I recently acquired a passap m -201 (fine gauge) and am having a difficult time finding single bed patterns in the right gauge to use it.
Poor 5mm's were left off the list, are we ignoring Passaps's, Supuba's & the many other 5mm machines?😉
Well, 5mm is close enough to 4.5mm as to make almost no difference - but ask, and you shall receive! :)
