Snap a photo of any crochet piece and get the pattern, round by round. Saw a cute amigurumi, a granny square cardigan or a baby blanket you want to make? Take a photo, upload a screenshot or paste a link from your saved pins. HookSnap reads the stitches and writes out a step-by-step pattern you can follow, even as a beginner. FROM PHOTO TO PATTERN IN SECONDS - Snap a photo or pick one from your camera roll - Share a pin straight into HookSnap, or paste a link - Get materials, yarn weight, hook size and gauge - Every round written out with stitch counts in bold MAKE IT ONE ROUND AT A TIME - Make mode shows one round at a time in big, easy-to-read type - A built-in row and stitch counter remembers where you stopped - Tap any abbreviation (sc, hdc, inc, sc2tog) to see how to work it - Switch between US and UK crochet terms FITS YOUR YARN AND HOOK - Gauge tool resizes the whole pattern to your swatch - Hook and yarn converter for US, UK and metric sizes KEEP EVERY MAKE IN ONE PLACE - My Makes keeps every pattern you snap, sorted into making and finished - Snap your finished piece and see it side by side with the original GOOD TO KNOW Patterns are estimated from your photo. A photo has no scale, so sizes and counts are a starting point, not an exact copy of the original. Make a swatch first and use the gauge tool to fit the pattern to your yarn and hook. If you can see who designed a piece, please credit and support them. SUBSCRIPTION HookSnap Pro unlocks unlimited pattern snaps, make mode and the pattern tools. Choose a monthly or yearly plan. Some plans include a free trial; if you don't cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts automatically. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
