PatternCraft helps you to easily create patterns (for example for knitting, crochet, beading, etc.) and experiment with different colours—something that you can't do with patterns in books or magazines. Easily tap out patterns with your palette of up to 10 colours (that you can change freely and choose from millions of shades), and 180 knitting and crochet symbols, up to a size of 100 columns x 100 rows. Once you have entered your pattern you can then change any of the colours to any shade you can imagine; you can even pick colours right out of your photos! PatternCraft was inspired by the needs of an avid knitter—all feedback and suggestions on how to make it an even better tool for the pattern-crafting community are very welcome! ## Key features - Create custom craft patterns - Experiment with millions of colors - Use knitting and crochet symbols - Design up to 100x100 - Pick colors from photos - Easily change pattern colors ## Recent user reviews (10 of 44) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/patterncraft/id600912240/reviews.md ### 3/5 — Help *2024-02-28* Please fix this app it pecks me out right away but this is the best beading app out there need it so bad ### 4/5 — Is this still supported? *2024-02-06, version 2.8.2* I’ve had this app for a few years. I don’t think this is supported anymore which is too bad. With some updates this would be a great app (think undo button). Please update!!! ### 4/5 — Good *2024-01-26, version 2.8.2* Good put glitches a lot, sometimes I can’t open the app withought it glitching back to my Home Screen. Also wish there was an undo button for mistakes ### 2/5 — Glitchy and will lose your progress *2023-01-26* The app is a bit simple but would be fine for the price but it keeps randomly closing out on me. Even when I saved I lose some parts of the design. It’s impossible to use when the app keeps closing every 5 seconds. Would also love to see a fill tool for filling backgrounds. If the glitchiness gets fixed it the app would be fine and worth the price, but without that it doesn’t function. ### 4/5 — With a few tweaks it could be perfect *2022-08-21* I love this app! It makes my beading projects really easy. I would suggest making it so that when you press on a color the color wheel doesn’t pop up (it makes it tedious to switch between colors quickly which I do a lot when making beading patterns) I would also suggest adding more colors options to the menu. I have a lot of bead colors and it would be awesome to be able to switch between colors easily. All in all a really great app! ### 4/5 — Nice *2021-03-12, version 2.8.2* Works great, sometimes it glitches and then erases what work I did. ### 5/5 — In awe of this app!!! *2020-12-18* This app makes me feel like a pro pattern maker! So easy to use and has all of the bells and whistles! I can’t live without it now! And I’m sure to make more money on my patterns with a great chart accompanying the written pattern!!!! ### 1/5 — Not Useful!! *2020-10-18* Doesn’t help with beading, disappointed I had to spend money on this app. ### 1/5 — I don’t like it *2020-05-29* I want my money back! I can’t even add my own images to bead! ### 5/5 — Needs more.... *2020-04-27, version 2.8.2* This app is good but it needs some editing options. ## Frequently asked questions about PatternCraft ### What can I create with PatternCraft?

Many thanks to Jocelyn and others for writing in with feedback on this. ### 2.7.1 — 2014-07-25 New! The numbering for the pattern will now sit outside the pattern, ensuring it doesn't get in the way. Thanks Jocelyn for writing in with the suggestion. ### 2.7 — 2014-06-29 New! Turn on the row/column numbering and tap a number to highlight that row or column. You can use this to keep your place while making a complex pattern, or perhaps while you are knitting/crocheting/creating the final product.
