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. Follow the instruction step by step: tap to advance, the current row lights up, and the screen stays awake while you knit. Choose the most precise distribution, or a simpler instruction that is quicker to follow. Made for knitters: • Six languages: English, Norwegian, Danish, German, French and Swedish. • No ads, no account, no data collection. • Works completely offline. Questions, tips or need help?

Plan your next knit with clear numbers and less guesswork. KnitMath turns your swatch gauge into cast-on stitches and rows, estimates the yarn you need and keeps your project details together on your iPhone or iPad.

KEEP YOUR PLACE • Count rows or rounds with large, simple controls. • Resume your current draft and counter after closing the app. • Save one project for free, including yarn, needle and project notes. • Look up metric, US and UK needle and crochet-hook sizes. GO FURTHER WITH PREMIUM One optional, one-time purchase unlocks: • Yardage, whole-skein quantities and leftover estimates from a weighed swatch or known length. • Yarn substitution estimates. • Even increase and decrease spacing for knitting, using kfb and k2tog instructions. • A handmade price draft with yarn, labour, extras and markup in EUR, USD or GBP. • Unlimited saved projects, shareable result cards and PDF project summaries. Calculations and projects stay on your device. No app account, ads or tracking SDKs. An internet connection is needed for App Store product information, purchases and restoration. KnitMath provides planning estimates, not complete knitting patterns. Check your swatch and finished measurements. Yarn substitutions still need a fresh gauge check; price drafts are not invoices or tax advice.
