Very Useful

Great for designing seed bead patterns! Yes, I agree with other comments, would be really nice to have a quick undo button, but I love this app

Love This App¡

Thank you¡. This app is so useful for creating my own designs. I am
an avid knitter and love fairisle, colorwork, intarsia and
duplicate stitch. I would love if you add an “undo”. feature
In future versions.

Thanks again,

Disappointing

This is useless for any crochet involving increases or multiple sizes of stitches. The crochet stitches are displayed identically, each taking one box when a chain stitch and a treble crochet popcorn aren’t remotely the same size. This may be useful for knitting, but I already have a more user friendly knitting app (knitting chart). I wish I could get my money back.

Grid Lines

I love the concept of this app. It enables me to design and bring to life what’s in my head. I just wish the grid lines were darker.

This app is just what I wanted

So easy to use. Works great for my color patterns.

No demo, app not what I was hoping for

You can change the color, and stitch symbol on a tappable sheet of squares. Changing the symbol does not change the length of the stitch, so there’s definitely no way to see what it will actually look like stitched out. It doesn’t give you a rendering of what it would look like stitched up or anything like that. Very simple, barebones app. Could have used excel, sheets, drawn it up in a table on docs, or drawn it out on paper. Definitely wish I hadn’t spent $3.99!

Best app for Crochet, hoping for updates

This is by far the best app in the store for creating crochet patterns, but needs some updates and new features. Would love to have a circular chart option. Please don’t abandon this!

Very Useful For My Beading and Knitting Designs

This app has been fantastically useful for precisely designing my own patterns for peyote stitch beadwork and for designing my own fair isle knitting patterns.

It has a few drawbacks - (1) any design file can use only about ten colors, (2) it is not possible to draw a box to select a block of cells, and (3) each time I switch from one pallet color to another, the color-picker toolbox opens.

That aside, this app is delightful! Choose rectangles if you are working with Delica beads; choose brick or quadrangle; any color you can imagine is available, and you can add knitting/crochet symbols over color patterns.

The grid is 100 x 100 and you can even highlight a row or column to mark your place as you work from your pattern. I would definitely recommend this to my friends

Great but needs some improvements

I really like this app but it definitely needs undo button and cut and paste function

Wonderful!

This app does exactly what I needed it to do. It's like electronic graph paper (which is what I used to use for my knitting designs).
