Minimum number of stitches that will fit around a circular needle based on gauge and needle size:
Your gauge in st. per in. ........ Length of circular needle
.......................... 16" .. 24" .. 29" .. 36"
3 ........................ 48 .. 72 .. 90 .. 120
3.5 ........................ 56 .. 84 .. 105 .. 135
4 ........................ 64 .. 96 .. 120 .. 150
4.5 ........................ 72 .. 108 .. 135 .. 165
5 ........................ 80 .. 120 .. 150 .. 180
5.5 ........................ 88 .. 132 .. 165 .. 195
6 ....................... 96 .. 144 .. 180 .. 216
6.5 ....................... 104 .. 156 .. 195 .. 234
7 ....................... 112 .. 168 .. 210 .. 252
7.5 ....................... 120 .. 180 .. 225 .. 270
8 ....................... 128 .. 192 .. 240 .. 288
8.5 ....................... 136 .. 204 .. 255 .. 306
9 ....................... 144 .. 216 .. 270 .. 324
Anyone with a calculator could figure this out but when you just want to move the stitches onto a circular needle this chart will come in handy. *note* I didn't make this up it was given to me by a sales rep years ago.
Thank you Julia for unearthing this out of my Library.
