Knitting Graph Paper Ratio 4:5 and 2:3 Half / Half Knitting Graph Paper is perfect for designing knitting patterns and knitting charts. The Knitting grid paper uses rectangular spaces rather than square to reflect the actual shape of knitting stitches. The 4:5 ratio graph paper is ideal for most knitting projects. This ratio means that 4 stitches measure the same length as 5 rows (40 stitches = 50 rows). For knitting with oversized, thick yarn or knitting double, the 2:3 ratio may be more appropriate. The 2:3 ratio means that 2 stitches measure the same length as 3 rows (20 stitches = 30 rows).
