How it works

From pattern to perfect numbers
in under 3 minutes

No maths knowledge needed. Scan your pattern, enter your yarn's gauge, tell us your measurements — StitchPlus handles everything else with precision.

1
📷
Scan or upload your pattern
Point your phone camera at any pattern page — knitting book, printed PDF, or digital file. AI reads the gauge, stitch counts, and size table automatically. Or paste the text directly.
2
🧶
Enter your yarn and measurements
Tell StitchPlus your substitute yarn's gauge, your bust measurement, preferred ease, and tension style. Save these to your profile and they load instantly next time.
3
Get exact recalculated instructions
StitchPlus's deterministic calculator computes exact stitch and row ratios first — then AI rewrites every pattern instruction using those precise numbers. Download as PDF or Word.
🔢
Zero AI guessing in the maths
Unlike tools that ask AI to estimate stitch counts, StitchPlus runs a deterministic JavaScript calculator first. Every ratio is computed to 4 decimal places before Claude touches the pattern. The AI writes the narrative — the code does the numbers.

Features

Everything a serious maker needs, built in

📐
Measurement-first sizing
Enter your bust, body length, and arm length. StitchPlus reads the pattern's size table and tells you exactly which size to make — then calculates every stitch count for it.
🎚️
Tension style slider
Set your knitting style from Very Loose to Very Tight. Adjusts all stitch counts beyond the gauge ratio — because even with the same yarn, your tension is yours.
🧵
DMC / Anchor / Madeira converter
Convert between thread colour systems instantly. Search by code or colour name. Discontinued colours flagged with closest current alternatives. Offline, instant, no cap.
🔺
HST, Flying Geese & strip piecing
Quilting's most needed tools. Starting square size, sub-cut counts, yardage per colour — calculated precisely. Plus diagonal / on-point setting with setting triangle maths.

"I had 8 skeins of Drops Karisma that didn't match anything on Ravelry. Scanned the pattern, entered my gauge, got the full recalculated instructions in 2 minutes. I would have given up on this project."

FAQ

Common questions

How is StitchPlus different from just asking AI to recalculate?
Other tools ask AI to estimate stitch counts — and AI can get this wrong, especially in complex shaping. StitchPlus runs a deterministic JavaScript calculator first, computing exact ratios to 4 decimal places. The AI only writes the narrative instructions using those pre-calculated numbers. Zero guessing in the maths.
Can I use StitchPlus for crochet, sewing and quilting too?
Yes — StitchPlus has 7 craft modules: Knitting, Crochet, Sewing, Quilting, Cross Stitch, Embroidery, and Pro Designer Tools (Pro Add-On). Standard gives you any 2 modules, Unlimited gives you all 7.
Do I need to install an app?
No app store needed. StitchPlus is a Progressive Web App — visit stitchplus.au and your browser will offer to install it to your home screen. It then works like a native app: offline calculators, camera access, home screen icon. On iPhone, tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
What does Design from Scratch do?
Design from Scratch is available on the Pro Add-On (+$5/month on any Standard or Unlimited plan) — 5 generations per month. You describe your yarn, style preferences, and enter your measurements — StitchPlus generates a complete, ready-to-use pattern — materials list, gauge swatch instructions, full abbreviations, complete row-by-row written instructions with every stitch count, all shaping (increases, decreases, neckline, sleeves), finishing, and blocking notes. Export as PDF or Word and cast on immediately. Pattern Resize (also 5/month with Pro Add-On) resizes any existing pattern to completely new measurements — for example, a children's pattern to adult size.
How does the pattern scan work?
Tap Scan with Camera or Upload a Photo in the Calculate tab. AI reads the pattern text — gauge, stitch counts, row counts, size table — and populates the pattern text field automatically. You can also type or paste pattern text directly.
Can I save my measurements so I don't re-enter them?
Yes — family dimension profiles are available on Standard and Unlimited plans. Save your bust, body length, arm length, ease preference, and tension style. Add profiles for family members too. Load any profile with one tap and all fields fill instantly.
Is there a limit on how many calculations I can do?
Yes — to keep costs sustainable. Trial: 5 calculations. Standard: 30 calculations, 20 pattern scans, 10 Photo Patterns per month. Unlimited: 100 calculations, 60 scans, 30 photo patterns per month. Pro Add-On: 5 Design from Scratch and 5 Pattern Resize per month. All 13 offline tools (needle chart, gauge scaler, HST calculator, DMC converter, and more) are always unlimited on every plan.
Can I embed StitchPlus in my pattern PDFs?
Yes — the widget generator creates a QR code for your PDF and an embed button for your website. When customers scan the QR, StitchPlus opens with your pattern's gauge pre-loaded. Available on Creator, Unlimited, and Designer plans. Your customers never have to ask "can I use X instead?" again.
