For knitters & crocheters

Never lose your place in a pattern again.

Paste any pattern. SkeinSmart tracks where you are, row by row — across every device. Pick the project back up after a week away and it's exactly where you left it.

Why knitters switch

Pattern-aware row tracking

Paste text, PDF, or a URL. We extract rows automatically — even open-ended repeats like “Repeat rows 3–4 until…”.

Sync that just works

Start on your phone on the couch, resume on your iPad at the coffee shop. Your current row follows you around.

Knitting mode

One row, full-screen, huge tap targets. Voice advance if your hands are full. Screen won't sleep mid-row.

Try it without signing up

Paste a pattern on the left. Step through rows on the right. Watch the highlight jump when SkeinSmart expands a repeat directive — the default example packs 4 rows into 16 parsed rows via Repeat rows 1-4 three times.
