## What is Sheepas?

Turn your crochet ideas into charts you can actually follow.

Sheepas is a crochet design and making app for building stitch connections, checking structure and stitch counts, and keeping project records.

Features

• Chart Editor — Build flat and circular crochet patterns with JIS stitch symbols
• Structure Checks — Catch inconsistent stitch counts, increases, decreases, and parent connections
• Knitting Navigation — Save markers, current position, sessions, and completion state
• Yarn Library — Save makers, yarn details, meters per ball, and photos, then assign yarn to a project
• Sharing and Import — Create chart cards, QR codes, images, and provenance notices

Sheepas does not estimate size from gauge, yarn usage, or required balls.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.3 — 2026-08-16

Sheepas improves App Store release stability.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-11

## Added

- Repair broken parent-stitch connections directly from the chart by choosing a repair target
- Added a dedicated marker editing mode with tap-to-toggle marker control for stitch groups

## Improvements

- Generate clean chart images without decorations for preview, sharing, and saving
- Choose chart layout candidates deterministically based on readability to reduce overlap in dense stitches
- Correct stitch row direction and turning-chain placement at row boundaries
- Updated iPad App Store screenshots for the current UI

## Fixes

- Fixed cases where flat patterns were incorrectly displayed as increases when editing or loading

Known limitation: Dense triangle shawls with fans and chain spaces may still have some overlap after the layout improvements.

Improvements

• Preserved stitch identity, markers, and the current making position after editing a chart.
