About

HookSnap

Features
Read full description

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.
