The App for Knitters. Keep track of every project and get inspired by fellow knitters. Loved by knitters around the world. ALL YOUR PROJECTS IN ONE PLACE The KNIT app keeps your projects, patterns, yarn and needles together, so you can spend the evening knitting instead of hunting for where you left your notes. Log what you’re planning, what’s on the needles and what you’ve finished. Every project keeps its yarn, needle size, pattern and photos, ready for the next time you need them. GET INSPIRED BY FELLOW KNITTERS Follow knitters whose work you love, and share your own projects as they grow, from the first rows to the finished garment. See which yarn and pattern they used, and ask how they got there. BRING YOUR OWN PATTERNS Build your own pattern library in the KNIT app: PDFs from your favourite designer, a printed leaflet, a page from an old magazine. Add it once, and it stays with the project it belongs to as well as in your pattern library. FREE TO JOIN Follow other knitters and share your projects. Project journal. Planned, active and finished projects in one overview. Notes for yarn, needle size, colour and dye lot, so you have what you’ll want to remember next time. Pattern library. All your patterns, organised and easy to find. Project photos, from cast on to finished garment. PREMIUM — YOUR FULL KNITTING COMPANION Counters. Track rows, decreases and increases as you knit. Knitting calculator. Spread increases and decreases evenly across your stitches. Mark up patterns. Highlight and annotate PDFs, and tick off rows as you go. Your place is saved. Scan paper patterns. Photograph a leaflet or a magazine page and bring your old favourites into the app. Yarn stash. Keep track of every skein you own, with colour, dye lot and how much is left. Pick the right yarn for your next project without digging through boxes. Needle overview. See which needles and sizes you already have, so you never buy the same 4 mm twice. Offline mode. Knit on the train, at the cabin, on the plane. Try Premium free for 30 days. You won’t be charged until your trial ends, and you can cancel anytime. WHY KNITTERS STAY Because everything is where they left it. The yarn used for that sweater two winters ago. The needle size that finally gave the right gauge. The row you were on when you fell asleep on the sofa. And because other knitters are there too, cheering on the next one. NEW HERE? Start with one project and follow a couple of knitters whose work you like. Add the yarn, the needles and the pattern you’re knitting from, and see how much lighter it feels to have it all in one place. MADE IN NORWAY, BY KNITTERS We’re here for everyone who picks up needles, whether that’s once a year or every evening. We read every message we get, and much of what’s in the app is there because a knitter asked for it.
