Craft Maker Series for Knitters

Five knitting journals and planners, all in the knit-friendly 4:5 ratio. Pick the one that fits the way you knit, or combine them.

Why 4:5?

Knitted stitches are slightly wider than they are tall. Standard square (1:1) graph paper can distort designs, so motifs look stretched once knitted.

All Craft Granny knitting books use a 4:5 ratio grid, which reflects the natural proportions of a knitted stitch and makes charts match the fabric more closely.
