Knitting Patterns Lite vs Knit Rows

(NOTE: This free trial version is fully functional, but has a maximum of 10 Patterns) Have you ever tried going on a shopping spree for new yarn (in physical stores or online), only to feel completely lost by not knowing exactly how you would use that nice-looking skein of yarn, and end up purchasing the wrong thing - or purchasing the right thing, but in the wrong quantity - or worse, still: Leaving empty-handed? If your answer is "yes", then Knitting Patterns will be your indispensable companion in the future. The inspiration in the form of your pattern library is right at your fingertips, wherever you go, and you can easily make sure that you purchase the right yarn in the right quantity - and with the right accessories. The app also helps you find inspiration on how to best make use of your current stash of yarn. The app lets you gain the perfect overview in a single place, whether your patterns are purchased, found in magazines, or your own creations entirely. You can categorize your patterns based from standard garment types, or create as many of your own categories as you like. You can have your patterns sorted alphabetically, by most recent usage, or in any particular order you like. Each pattern can be associated with as many categories as you wish. It is entirely up to you how many details you want to register for your individual patterns, but the more details you supply, the more help you will find in the built-in filtering function. When browsing your patterns, only the filled-in information is shown, so you won't have to deal with lots of empty fields. Using the camera, you can supply your pattern details with pictures or PDF files of the model, the instructions, or perhaps of the finalized garments. You can add as many attachments as you like, both for your categories, your patterns, and your yarns. Use the Filter function if you need to search for a specific pattern in your pattern library, or just need inspiration for your next project, based on a specific yarn. In all aspects, Knitting Patterns is an indispensable app, for the experienced knitter/crocheter and the newcomer alike!

KnitRows keeps your place in a knitting pattern, one row at a time. Enter a pattern's instructions once, then tap your way through it. KnitRows shows exactly what to work on the row you're on, including every repeat, increase, and decrease that lands there. It works for a simple hat or a multi-size sweater, from written instructions or from a chart, on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. KNIT ROW BY ROW • The current row fills the screen. Tap to advance. • See the row number and the stitch count before and after each row. • Go back, jump to any row, or go full screen with one tap. • Pinch to resize the text. • Your place is saved automatically, so you can put your knitting down and pick it up later. • Keep the screen awake while you knit. BUILD YOUR PATTERN FROM STEPS • Split a project into pieces: Back, Front, Sleeves, Hood. • Describe each piece as steps with a start row, how often it repeats, and how many times. • "Decrease every 4th row, 11 times" is one step. KnitRows works out the rows. • Several instructions can share a row, in the order you choose. • Color-code steps and track stitch increases and decreases. • Copy steps and pieces, within a project or between projects. KNIT FROM A CHART • Crop a chart from your pattern PDF, a photo, or an image file. • Auto-detect finds the chart and straightens it. • KnitRows highlights the current chart row and dims the rest. KEEP THE PATTERN WITH THE PROJECT • Attach the pattern PDF and open it from the project. • Save the designer, gauge, materials, and notes. • Save the pattern's abbreviations and look them up while you knit. • Add a thumbnail from a photo, an image, or a PDF page. SIZES • Knitting a pattern written for several sizes? Give each size its own pieces and steps. • Copy a size to start the next one. STAY ORGANIZED • Tag projects by type and yarn weight, then search and filter. • View projects as a grid or a list. • See rows knit, stitches, and time spent for each project. • Optional timer for each row. YOUR PROJECTS ON ALL YOUR DEVICES • Projects sync through iCloud between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Back up and restore projects in iCloud Drive. • Export and import project files to share a project with another knitter (iPhone and iPad). EASY TO LEARN • Built-in User Guide. • A sample project to explore. • Tips that walk you through your first project. Syncing, backups, pattern PDFs, and thumbnails use iCloud, so an iCloud account is needed for those features.
