Ratings and reviews

Overall easy to use but is only good for making basic patterned sweaters/jumpers. You get a decent amount of customization and the instructions are helpful and clear; good for beginners. I do however wish there were a few more customization options and maybe a few different pattern styles, perhaps a cardigan would be a nice addition. A small inconvenience that everything is in centimeters since I do most work in inches but it's not hard to do a conversion so it's not too big of a deal.

I've used the calculator on the website multiple times and my sweaters have come out great. I really enjoy having this tool to use as a guide! As a free knitting pattern calculator, the limited style/pattern choices aren't an issue. It's not been a problem to make a gauge swatch in whatever stitch pattern I plan to use and then using the pattern's stitch/row counts as a guide. Thank you!

Love this app! But I will say this app is not for those who have never knitted any type of worn garment. I would suggest having a few youtube videos on standby to really understand how the garments will be structured since the app does not give exact step by step from start to finish. I've knitted a few sweaters before and even I had to rip my work a couple of times because the wording was not a thorough as normal written patterns.
