## Description

Knit Pattern Creator is a versatile Chrome extension that empowers knitters to design their own knitting patterns effortlessly. Users can select and place any knit stitch symbol, including cable knit symbols, directly onto a customizable grid. The tool allows changing yarn colors by altering grid square colors, and users can add repeat boxes to indicate repeating stitch sets.

Additional features include cut, copy, and paste for stitches, unlimited undo/redo functionality, zoom in/out, and pattern resizing. The extension also supports saving patterns and sharing them via text, email, and other platforms. Activation costs $2.99, offering an intuitive platform for knitters to create, save, and share personalized knitting charts.

## Review summary

Reviewers repeatedly say Knit Pattern Creator is listed as free but requires a $2.99 in-app payment before users can create any patterns. Many call this misleading and a bait-and-switch, since the cost is hidden in the About section and there is no free trial to test the app first. Several uninstalled immediately or said they would look for another tool. The only praise, a beautiful user interface, appears in a single review. One reviewer also reported being unable to save patterns and finding the app hard to use.

### Cons

- Main pattern-creation feature requires a $2.99 in-app payment to unlock, despite the app being listed as free
- Paid requirement is misleading: it is not disclosed in the store listing or tagged as in-app purchases, and users feel it is a bait-and-switch
- No free trial or way to test the app before paying, so users cannot tell whether it is useful
- Users who paid or were considering paying felt the app was misrepresented as a free pattern creator
