Features & Capabilities

KnitCompanion is a pattern-tracking app for knitters and fiber artists that works with ANY pattern, offline and anywhere. The free basics let you track rows, use counters for multiple projects, link to Ravelry and Dropbox, and sync with iCloud, while supporting iOS multitasking and Dark Mode.

Upgrade with Setup+Essentials to customize settings, scribble on patterns, use magic markers to count and color stitches, keep the key visible, set reminders, highlight notes, watch technique videos, attach PDFs, and use hands-free voice commands. It also includes intelligent chart recognition and the option to join charts or written patterns for a single row marker across the row, plus access to thousands of kCDesigns via the library.

User Reviews

KnitCompanion is a powerful pattern-management hub praised for chart tracking, PDFs, notes, and multi-project organization. It shines for knitters and crocheters who need precise placement and progress tracking across patterns. Common drawbacks are pricing, inconsistent syncing across devices, occasional count inaccuracies, a learning curve, and stability problems. When functioning well, it’s a robust, versatile tool; for some users, cost and reliability concerns temper the experience.

Pros

Keeps track of charts, rows, and stitch counts across multiple projects with notes and markers
Open pattern PDFs and mark up, make notes, and easily navigate within a pattern
Supports multiple projects and flexible organization of pattern instructions
Highly customizable tools (markers, highlighters, colors) that grow with the user
Can import patterns from Ravelry and supports knitting, crochet, and other patterns

Cons

Subscription pricing (annual/semi-annual) rather than a one-time purchase
Cross-device syncing and iCloud sync are frequently unreliable or inconsistent
Magic Marker/count features can be inaccurate or occasionally missing counts
Steep learning curve / not intuitive UI and some UX design challenges
Stability issues like crashes, blank screens, or the app closing unexpectedly

If you are a cross stitcher wanting to use this app to mark up your digital patterns, pass on this app. I can find no way to mark a single stitch. Groups of stitches- yes. Also, the app does not accurately identify symbols. I’ve spent hours researching and trying to get it to work properly. Support and tutorials are extremely lacking.

The app feels clunky and unintuitive, and the overall UX design is honestly very outdated compared to what you’d expect from a paid tool today. Navigation isn’t smooth, and simple tasks take way more tapping and figuring out than they should. For something that’s positioned as a premium knitting companion tool, it feels like it hasn’t kept up with modern app standards. There are plenty of other knitting apps out there that are easier to use, more polished, and frankly, cost less. At this price point, I expected something much more streamlined and user-friendly. I wouldn’t recommend spending the money on this one when better options exist.

I’ve been using knitCompanion for almost 3 years now, and knitting has never been as good as it is now. I can have multiple projects and work on whatever I want that date by picking up my knitCompanion and I know exactly where I am and what I need to do. I love it I wish we could just buy it once rather than one semi annual renewal. I think that’s a bit steep.
