About this app

KnitsThatFit Sweaters creates custom knitting patterns for Pullovers and Cardigans for any yarn, any size and any fit, and is used by both hand and machine knitters.
Knitting direction options (top-down or bottom up).
Patterns for a wide range of styles can be created with a choice of raglan, set-in sleeves or drop shoulder armholes, and a range of necklines and sleeve options (including sleeveless). There are also options for waist shaping with close fitting garments.
With an extensive range of standard clothing sizes for Women (International), Men, Babies and Children, all body measurements can be adjusted for a customised fit. The garment measurements such as length, neck width and depth, sleeve length are also fully adjustable. There is a selection of stitch patterns that can be chosen, but any stitch pattern can be used, and if the stitch pattern has a pattern repeat or a central panel, the app will give instructions to centre the pattern or adjust the stitch count for the pattern repeat, according to your choices.

So whether you want a knitting pattern for an ankle length oversized pullover with a roll-neck in a super chunky yarn, or a short sleeved cropped V-neck cardigan in a fancy fine yarn, or a crew neck pullover for the little ones, this app will give you a pattern for all of them!

The knitting patterns are currently produced in the form of written text, with options for knitting the garment in the round from the top down, or flat, from the bottom up. The pattern is also shown diagrammatically in the form of a schematic diagram.

Without the in-app purchase, this version of the KnitsThatFit Sweater app enables you to create a knitting pattern for a standard-fit, crew-neck sweater in a choice of 3 adult sizes. There is a choice to use DK / Light Worsted or Aran / Worsted weight yarn. A small amount of adjustment to body and sleeve length can be made. The instructions are given in the form of text, for knitting the garment flat, from the bottom up.
All of the features of the paid version of KnitsThatFit Sweaters can be unlocked with an in-app purchase.

With the in-app purchase, you can also create and save as many patterns as you like, and they will all be accessible from a list within the app.

Patterns can be saved as a PDF and printed.

Ratings and reviews

I have only just downloaded this today. The free version doesn't work for me as the options are so limited so I have taken a one month subscription which isn't much. It seems to function really well with loads of options. Although I haven't knitted anything yet, this looks professional and well thought out and I am looking forward to using it to its full extent. So, until I find something wrong I am giving it 5 stars 🙂.

great for designing your own sweaters to fit your personal measurements and your own knitting gage. it doesn't have every tool but it has an awful lot so it makes a great base pattern.

I would like to apologize to and also thank the app's creator! At first the app was not working for me. After contacting the creator about my issues, she responded right away and worked diligently with me to help me understand what I was doing wrong. She helped to resolve all of my issues. She is absolutely amazing and is truly dedicated to the quality of her brand. The app is working fine for me now, I couldn't be more happy. I would spend my money to support her anytime. This app is awesome!!
