What's New in Skein
1.1
August 18, 2026
Circular yoke construction Skein now grades circular yoke sweaters alongside raglan, with round-by-round increase instructions written out in full — the same verified math behind both. Sizes now run XS–5XL Nine sizes instead of seven, so your patterns reach more of the people who want to knit them. Live schematic Watch your garment take shape as you type. Every measurement on the diagram comes from the stitch counts your instructions actually produce. Stitch pattern repeats Enter your motif repeat and every size holds whole repeats, so cables and lace land cleanly. Skein tells you exactly how far that moves the finished measurement. Multiple patterns at once The Designer Workspace now holds as many pattern drafts as you like. Your existing draft carries over automatically.
