StitchEven does the knitting calculations for you, so your increases, decreases and buttonholes come out evenly every time. Fast, simple and intuitive, made by a knitter for knitters. Enter your stitches and the app works out a clear, ready-to-knit instruction: • Even increases and decreases, spread as evenly as possible across the row, in the round or worked flat. • Buttonholes, evenly spaced along an edge. • Gauge: cast on the right number of stitches for a desired width, or convert a pattern to your own gauge. • A built-in list of abbreviations, so the instructions are easy to read.
