## What is Hooked?

Hooked - Crochet & Knitting Row Counter, Patterns & Stash

Hooked makes crochet and knitting simple. Follow patterns step-by-step with plain English explanations, never lose your place with smart stitch tracking, and organize your entire crafting life  all in one app.


Whether you're learning your first chain stitch or tackling a complex cable sweater, Hooked keeps you on track so you actually finish what you start.


WHY CRAFTERS CHOOSE HOOKED
Never lose your place again
Track rows, repeats, and sections with multiple counters. See expected stitch counts per row and get gentle reminders to count every few rows — catch mistakes before they become hours of frogging. Pick up any project exactly where you left off with your row, next instruction, and progress waiting for you.

Smart Explain
Stuck on a confusing instruction? Tap any row and get a plain English breakdown adapted to your skill level. No more guessing what "sk 2 sts, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next st" means.

Patterns from everywhere
Browse 500+ curated patterns, discover new ones from popular crafting sites, import your own PDFs, paste text, or pull directly from your Ravelry library. Switch between US and UK crochet terms with one tap. All your patterns, one place.

Built for beginners
New to crochet? Start with 5 guided beginner projects, each with step-by-step video tutorials built right into the app. No searching YouTube — just learn and make.

See your progress
Visual progress bars on every project so you can see how far you've come at a glance. Snap progress photos as you work to track your journey, and if you ever need to frog, you'll know exactly what each stage looked like.

Track your sessions
Time your crafting with a built-in timer that works on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. See your full session history and watch your projects grow.

Your whole stash, organized
Log every skein of yarn, hook, needle, and supply. Know exactly what you have before starting something new.
