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

So sad about this app, I paid for the lifetime version, and now they’ve made enough changes where that version isn’t available anymore. I was able to creat charts and change colors of my markers, flip designs and merge them together. I loved it, until they got my payment for a lifetime, then they made all the features only available if you pay a yearly subscription. So my PAID subscription now I get the FREE version that everyone can get, so what did I pay for?? I understand it’s the way of the world to make money, but how many people did they lie to about the lifetime version? I wouldn’t pay for this app again even if it did my knitting for me, burn me once, shame on you…I’m not getting burned again.

I started using the paid version on a complicated cable pattern. It's takes a bit of time to get the charts set up, mostly because there is a learning curve. It is definitely worth the effort. The videos and resource guides are great and the customer service is really fantastic. There are so many helpful options in the paid version, such as easily keeping track of a certain number of increases after a number of rows. I combined the cable charts so everything is on one page. I've added reminders at certain points. I can easily jump between pages of the pattern as well as between patterns. I highly recommend.
