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

Tap to count up, swipe to undo. Rows or rounds, set a target and a progress ring shows how close you are to the finish. A digital row counter that never loses your place.

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 repeating motifs like K2P2 that come back every few rows or rounds, knit or crochet. 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.

Apple Watch ready

Count rows straight from your wrist, no need to put your work down. Your project stays in sync with the iPhone. The watch app is part of Knittle for iPhone and iPad.

On the Apple Watch

Count without putting your work down

Knittle follows you to the wrist. A row counter, your project list and the session timer, one tap away. Everything stays in sync with the iPhone.

The watch app comes with Knittle for iPhone and iPad. The Android version does not have a watch app.

How it works

Start a project in under a minute

Three small steps and you are making.

  1. 1

    Add a project

    Give it a name, pick a colour, set your row target if you have one. That is the whole setup.

  2. 2

    Count as you make

    A big, friendly tap target for every row. Add a photo when something nice happens.

  3. 3

    Come back whenever

    Your projects are waiting exactly where you left them. No streak to keep alive, no guilt.

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, export and import, and the watch app on iPhone and iPad. 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 in your private iCloud if you use an iPhone or iPad, never on a Knittle server.
Does Knittle sync between my devices?
Between your Apple devices, yes. Knittle uses your private iCloud (CloudKit) to keep your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch in sync, with no Knittle server in the middle. On Android, your projects stay on the phone and you move them with the export and import files. An iPhone and an Android phone cannot sync with each other.
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?
On iPhone and iPad your projects live in your iCloud, so reinstalling Knittle pulls them right back. On Android they live on the phone only, so export your projects before you uninstall, and import the file afterwards.
Which devices is it compatible with?
Knittle runs on recent versions of iOS, iPadOS and watchOS, and on recent versions of Android. The exact minimum requirements are on the App Store and Google Play pages.
Is there an Android version?
Yes, Knittle is on Google Play. Same projects, same counters, same motifs, timers, notes and pattern files as on the iPhone. Two differences for now: there is no watch app on Android, and iCloud is an Apple service, so the Android app keeps your projects on the phone and moves them with the export and import files.

A quieter way to keep track of your knitting and crochet

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 and crochet app

Most counters were designed like productivity tools: streaks, badges, notifications, leaderboards. Knitting and crochet are the opposite of that. They are 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 on your own devices: in your private iCloud on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and on the phone itself on Android. 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.
