Features
Read full description

Purori is a pattern reader built for knitters and crocheters who want to focus on the craft, not the paperwork. Import any PDF pattern and Purori reads it intelligently — pulling out your steps, your stitch counts, and your construction options. Pick your size once and the numbers update throughout. No more squinting through brackets. No more mental math mid-row. Purori strips away every size that isn't yours, so you only ever see the instructions that matter to you. Read through your pattern as a list, flip through steps as cards, or drop into focus mode when you need to think about nothing but the row you're on. Dark mode included, for the late night knitters. Whether you're casting on your first sweater or your fiftieth, Purori keeps your pattern clear, your place saved, and your hands free to knit.
