Width locks to your machine's needle count. Leave rows blank/0 for auto (uses the knit-stitch shape: stitches are wider than tall, ≈1.3 rows per stitch of image height).

Needle chart

Sentro machines knit one yarn per row — use this chart for duplicate-stitch designs after knitting, or as a needle-accurate map for hand-fed colorwork. Column numbers = needle numbers.

Project

inches
rows / inch

Measure your own gauge — it matters more than anything else here. Around 7 rows/inch is typical for medium (#4) yarn on a Sentro, but tension varies a lot: knit 20 rows, measure the length, and divide 20 by the inches you got for your exact gauge.

How the Sentro pattern generator works

The stripe designer turns your colors into row-by-row instructions ("Rows 1–6: knit Blush, Rows 7–10: knit Cream…") sized to your total row count, so you can crank without counting in your head. The photo-to-chart mode converts any picture into a colorwork chart locked to your machine's exact needle count (22, 40 or 48) for duplicate-stitch embellishment. The row counter converts finished length and your measured gauge into the rows you actually need — including the doubled fabric of a fold-over beanie.

Sentro row count cheat sheet (medium yarn, ≈7 rows/inch)

Adult double-layer beanie (48 needle): ≈120 rows plus 2–4 for the crown gather · Kids double-layer beanie (40 needle): ≈105 rows · Doll hat (22 needle): ≈55 rows · 60-inch scarf: ≈420 rows. Always knit a 20-row gauge swatch first — yarn weight and tension change everything.
