InterTwined reads your knitting and crochet patterns so you don't have to squint at a PDF while counting stitches. HOW IT WORKS Drop in any pattern PDF, from your files, Ravelry, or our curated library of 125+ patterns. An on-device scan reads gauge, sizes, and stitch counts straight away. A deeper extraction then structures the whole pattern into trackable sections, which takes a couple of minutes and runs in the background while you carry on. Tap "Next Row" and keep knitting. YOUR PATTERN, YOUR WORDS The instructions come from the original designer. We don't generate patterns, invent stitches, or replace anyone's work. The AI reads and organizes, and where it computes something, like a running stitch count, it is working from the designer's own numbers. The designer wrote the pattern. We just help you not lose your spot in it. THREE MODES, PICK WHAT FITS - Basic. Your PDF on top, a row counter and garment schematic below. Follow along at your own pace. The simplest possible tracker, and it always works. - Simple (default). Your pattern's original text organized by section, with completion checkmarks and your PDF always visible beside it. - Advanced. Row-by-row instructions with computed stitch counts, shaping events, and a live garment schematic showing where you are in the piece. Switch between all three anytime. Your progress carries over. FEATURES - Charts tracked in place, with your current row marked on the chart itself - Side-by-side PDF and tracker on iPad and in landscape - Garment schematic built from real stitch data - Extract multiple sizes and switch between them instantly - Redo any section for "make 2" pieces like sleeves - Voice commands, say "advance" or "go back" hands-free - AI pattern assistant that knows your specific pattern - Quality score on every extraction across 7 dimensions - On-device pre-scan detects gauge, sizes, and checkpoints - Ravelry integration, search free patterns and tap to import - 125+ curated patterns ready to track, no extraction needed - Colorwork helper for tracking yarn changes PRICING 2 free pattern extractions included.
