Knitting Project Planner (Free Printable PDF)
One page for the whole project: pattern and size at the top, yarn and needles in tables, the gauge swatch you actually knitted, and a row counter you cross off as you go.

The page opens with six lines for the project itself: what you are making, the pattern name, the designer or where you bought it, the size you are knitting, the finished measurements and the gauge the pattern calls for. Below that a yarn table takes three yarns with brand, colourway and dye lot, weight, number of skeins and the yardage or metres per skein, which is the information you need again if you have to buy one more ball halfway through.
The needle table records two needles with size in US and mm, type, cable or needle length and what you used them for. The gauge swatch record is three rows wide: needle size, stitches over four inches or ten centimetres, rows over the same span, whether the swatch was blocked and whether it matched the pattern. Writing down the swatch that failed is as useful as the one that worked, so there is room for both.
The row counter is a grid of numbered boxes, 100 or 200 of them depending on the option you pick, with a heavier rule every ten so you can find your place at a glance. Cross one off at the end of each row. The rest of the page is a ruled notes block for needle swaps, short rows, decreases you changed and where you stopped. Every field is fillable, so you can type the project details before printing.
