What Knittle does

Every stitch, calmly tracked

A little app that holds your projects, your counts, your patterns and your notes, without ever getting in the way.

Row counter

Projects

A neat shelf for everything you are making: in progress, planned or finished. Pause one, start another, come back any time without losing your place.

Stitches and motifs

Beyond rows: track stitch counts and pattern motifs like K2P2 that repeat every X rows. Knittle keeps the maths.

Time history

A simple timer for each session, plus a 7-day chart and a lifetime total. See your rhythm without ever feeling watched.

Notes and patterns

Pattern tweaks, gauge swatches, PDF or photo of the pattern itself. Everything stays next to the project.

FAQ

A few questions, answered softly

Is Knittle free?
Knittle is free to download and you can start knitting right away. The free version shows a small banner. Optional Premium removes the ads and unlocks the full app: unlimited projects, custom counters, repeating motifs, pattern files, time history, the Apple Watch app and exports. It comes as a monthly or yearly subscription (with a free trial) or a one-time Lifetime purchase.
Do I need an account?
No. Knittle works without an account. Your projects live on your own devices and your private iCloud, never on a Knittle server.
Does Knittle sync between my devices?
Yes. Knittle uses your private iCloud (CloudKit) to keep your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch in sync. Start counting on the iPhone, finish on the Watch, the count is the same. There is no Knittle server in the middle.
Does Knittle work for crochet too?
Yes. Rows or rounds, knit or crochet, the counter does not mind. Call your projects whatever you like.
What happens if I delete the app?
Your projects live in your iCloud, so reinstalling Knittle on a new device pulls them right back. If you ever turn off iCloud sync, the data stays local on the device only.
Which devices is it compatible with?
Knittle runs on recent versions of iOS, iPadOS and watchOS. The exact minimum requirements are on the App Store page.

A quieter way to keep track of your knitting

Knittle is not built to push you. It is built to sit on the arm of the sofa next to your yarn, and quietly remember where you are.

Why another knitting app

Most counters were designed like productivity tools: streaks, badges, notifications, leaderboards. Knitting is the opposite of that. It is slow on purpose. Knittle keeps the row counter, the project list, the photos and the notes, and removes the rest.

Designed around a warm palette

Cream, peach, soft wood. The colour scheme is borrowed from a basket of yarn rather than a dashboard. Every screen is meant to feel like a small, well-lit corner of a living room.

Your data is yours

Knittle keeps your projects in your own private iCloud, synced across your devices. There is no Knittle account and no Knittle server holding your work. The few diagnostic signals we do collect are described plainly on the privacy page.
