Skein - Knit and Grade

New: your exported pattern now opens with a real schematic, drawn to scale from your graded numbers. Plus a free house pattern in nine sizes.

Turn one sample size into a complete, graded knitting pattern.

Skein is grading software for knitwear designers who need their numbers to be right — not just fast.

Enter your gauge and finished measurements once. Skein computes exact stitch and row counts across 9 sizes (XS–5XL), writes the shaping instructions to match, and draws a live schematic from the counts it just calculated.

FOUR CONSTRUCTIONS Raglan, circular yoke, set-in sleeve, and drop shoulder — each with its own real shaping logic, built from published industry method. Set-in sleeves include an armscye check: Skein compares the cap edge to the armhole it eases into and reports the ease honestly, which is the part of set-in design that most often goes wrong.

EVERY COUNT VERIFIED The rule Skein is built on: every printed count must be a count the knitter actually has. Table, split, and instructions are asserted to agree for every size, on every launch — 370+ checks across the engine.

A REAL SCHEMATIC, ON PAGE ONE Export your pattern from the Designer Workspace and its measurement diagram is already there — drawn to scale from the same stitch counts as the instructions, lettered and keyed the way published patterns are ("34 (38, 42…)″"). No screenshotting the calculator, no redrawing it by hand.

A FREE PATTERN TO START WITH The Chestnut Raglan, an original relaxed top-down pullover in nine sizes, is built into the app. Free, no email required.

YOUR OWN PATTERN LIBRARY Add the patterns you've bought — attach the PDF, add your notes and sections, and keep everything in one place.

WHILE YOU KNIT Your row count pins to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can glance without unlocking. Add a price per skein and every size shows an estimated yarn cost beside its yardage.

STITCH PATTERN REPEATS Enter your motif repeat and every size holds whole repeats — cables and lace land cleanly in all nine sizes, with any deviation reported.
