## What is KnitsThatFit Sweaters?

KnitsThatFit Sweaters creates custom knitting patterns for Pullovers and Cardigans for any yarn, any size and any fit, and is used by both hand and machine knitters.
Patterns for a wide range of styles can be created with a choice of raglan, set-in sleeves or drop shoulder armholes, and a range of necklines and sleeve options (including sleeveless).  There are also options for waist shaping with close fitting garments.
With an extensive range of standard clothing sizes for Women (International), Men, Babies and Children, all body measurements can be adjusted for a customised fit.  The garment measurements such as length, neck width and depth, sleeve length are also fully adjustable. There is a selection of stitch patterns that can be chosen, but any stitch pattern can be used, and if the stitch pattern has a pattern repeat or a central panel, the app will give instructions to centre the pattern or adjust the stitch count for the pattern repeat, according to your choices.

So whether you want a knitting pattern for an ankle length oversized pullover with a roll-neck in a super chunky yarn, or a short sleeved cropped V-neck cardigan in a fancy fine yarn, or a crew neck pullover for the little ones, this app will give you a pattern for all of them!

The knitting patterns are currently produced in the form of written text, with options for knitting the garment in the round from the top down, or flat, from the bottom up. The pattern is also shown diagrammatically in the form of a schematic diagram.  

Without the in-app purchase, this version of the KnitsThatFit Sweater app enables you to create a knitting pattern for a standard-fit, crew-neck sweater in a choice of 3 adult sizes. There is a choice to use DK / Light Worsted or Aran / Worsted weight yarn.  A small amount of adjustment to body and sleeve length can be made. The instructions are given in the form of text, for knitting the garment flat, from the bottom up.
All of the features of the paid version of KnitsThatFit Sweaters can be unlocked with an in-app purchase.

With the in-app purchase, you can also create and save as many patterns as you like, and they will all be accessible from a list within the app.

Patterns can be printed (with an AirPrint compatible printer) and saved as a PDF, which can be opened in any other compatible apps on your device.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app - make what you want your way!

*2026-07-28*

This app allows you to make a knitted garment in whatever ply or style for sweaters (jumpers in Australia) that you want. Carefully enter your measurements for the pattern to fit you perfectly and don’t forget to know your tension (yes, knit a gauge square!).  I am on my third garment from using the app.  Highly recommend.

### 3/5 — Good basic shapes

*2026-06-15*

Ok for basic shapes but what about a pocket or adding a hood? Needs more variety.

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Was Looking For

*2026-02-24*

As a 5ft3in woman, I find 99 per cent of ready-to-buy knitwear far too long in the body. It bunches up at the stomach, creates unwanted folds and never looks elegant. On top of that, the fashion these days is for unisex, relaxed-fit, loose, dropped-shoulder, boxy styles. This shape also transfers itself to the majority of knitting patterns available for purchase. I believe that the reason is that with so many women now being overweight, manufacturers and shops have a far greater chance of selling their garments and avoiding returns if they opt for loose-fitting, somewhat shapeless garments that fit all shapes and sizes. However, they don’t work so well on small, slim women, and the lack of shaping often results in surplus fabric under the armpits. It’s only on vintage patterns that you’re likely to find fitted shapes with cinched-in waists. An added problem is the quality of the yarn. If you want pure wool, the knitwear shops limit you to expensive, ultra-thin cashmere or fine merino at one extreme or chunky knits at the other extreme, with very little choice in between. DK weight is virtually non-existent in shop-bought jerseys, and Arans tend to be bulky cable designs or outdoor fisherman’s knits. This app solves all of these many problems at one stroke and takes all the maths and design work out of the equation. No need to adapt patterns any more. It takes three minutes to create a pattern tailored to your own body measurements and to your own ideal garment measurements. No need to refer to complex tables and charts and no need to constantly be getting out the measuring tape. It’s all worked out for you before you even start to knit.

### 5/5 — The program is stunning

*2026-02-12*

The best app ever

### 2/5 — Necklines always very large

*2025-10-25*

I only ever use the machine knitting facility on this app and although it works very well for body sizes the necklines come out huge no matter what reductions are made to the instructions before the pattern is generated.  This is even with an accurate gauge being entered and matched up. The latest issue of many was I asked it to make a pattern with a 2.5” depth neck for a jacket which ended up halfway down my chest and right across my shoulders, wasted so much yarn.  Unfortunately I didn’t get a response when I emailed.  Just stick to cut & sew for necklines and you will be ok.  I have seen other people comment on this issue in Machine Knitting groups online but otherwise it’s a good app.

### 1/5 — Knits that don't fit

*2025-04-03*

Trying the free pattern I can't knit the garment I want in the yarn I want or the size I want, using the measurements I need. So, how do I know if the paid version does what I need it to do?  And that I can produce a knit that fits 🤷🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — My review.

*2025-02-19*

Remove app
I am unable to navigate and would like a refund.  I purchased the upgrade thinking it would help my understanding but it didn’t.   Please.  I’m so confused.   Thank you

### 1/5 — WORTHLESS

*2024-11-09*

I would give zero stars if I could. First of all, the app told me I need 401 yards of yarn for a men’s sweater. Then it told me to cast on 24 stitches for the back. The free trial did not give me enough information for me to know whether it would suit my needs, so I downloaded the paid version and this is what I got. $14.99 down the drain. 🤬

### 1/5 — 🙁

*2024-03-31*

Impossible to use: the app keeps crashing every time I try to open it. And apparently I can’t ask for a refund. Not happy at all…

### 1/5 — Paid for premium, not premium

*2024-03-31*

I paid for premium. The app wouldn’t create new patterns. It did for years and now it won’t. It keeps closing and shutting down on me. I reset my phone, still won’t work. I deleted the app and tried to re-install and now I no longer have premium and I still can’t create patterns. Buggy.
