One app for every pattern you own
PDFs, printouts, patterns bought anywhere. AI reads the file and rebuilds it for your needles: your size only, your row always saved, charts you can actually read.
How it works
Bring a pattern
Upload a PDF or photograph a printed pattern, including the ones you bought years ago.
AI reads it
Sizes, gauge, materials and instructions are read from the file and laid out as a clean, readable pattern. The original stays untouched.
Knit
Filter to your size, count rows as you go, put it down and pick it up exactly where you stopped.
What's inside
Smart Reader
One step at a time, in your size. The next step shows below, and the techniques in each step link to our guides. Set the text size, line spacing and a light, dark or sepia theme.
Focus mode
Only the step you are on fills the screen, and the screen stays on. Knit without touching your phone.
Original pattern alongside
The original page sits next to the step, so you can check a chart or a photo. Zoom in up to three times.
Counters and notes
Count rows with one tap, add extra counters for repeats, and write a note on any step. Bookmark the steps you want to find again.
Gauge tool
Work out stitches and rows per 10 cm, and measure your swatch against the screen.
Library and projects
Every pattern you import in one searchable library. Each project remembers its size, chapter and step, so you pick up where you stopped.

FAQ
When does the app launch?
Autumn 2026 is the aim. Newsletter subscribers get access first.
Will my existing patterns work?
Yes, that's the point. Any knitting pattern you own as a PDF or on paper can be brought in.
What happens to the original file?
Nothing. It stays in your library exactly as it was, the reader is a layer on top, not a replacement. If the AI misreads something, the original is one tap away.
Which platforms?
iPhone and Android, with the reader on the web too. One account everywhere.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Patterns and your progress are stored on your phone, so you can knit where there's no signal.
Is my library private?
Yes. What you import is yours alone, never shared, published or visible to anyone else.
Do I have to buy patterns on Knyt?
No. Knyt works with patterns from anywhere.
What will it cost?
To be announced; we'll share pricing before launch.
What about crochet?
Knyt starts with knitting, it's what we know first-hand. Crochet may follow.
