A reader made for knitting

Read the pattern one row at a time. A row marker keeps your place, and you can leave notes right where you need them.

Your size, highlighted

Choose your size once and the app highlights the numbers that are yours, so you stop counting through the other sizes.

Row counters that stay put

Keep a counter for every part of a project. Tap to add a row, and it is still there when you come back.

Meet Gordon

Gordon is a dog. Obviously.

Gordon is an English springer spaniel who holds a ball of rust-coloured yarn in his mouth, and he is the face of the app. He does not tell you how to knit. He turns up now and then with a small dog-sized comment, and he stamps your achievements with his paw. Approved by Gordon.
