Pletinka: Row Counter

Row counter with goals and reminders, a knitting and crochet reference, and garment calculators. Works offline — no account, no ads, no tracking.

Pletinka is a knitting and crochet companion: a fast row counter, a reference guide, stitch patterns, tips, and calculators in one place. Fully offline, no sign-up, no ads.

ROW COUNTER • A big button you can tap without looking up from your work • Long-press for −1 when you lose count and need to go back a row • Count with the volume buttons: up +1, down −1 (turn it on in Settings) • Home screen widget: current row, goal and progress — tap to open the counter • Haptic feedback on every tap; the screen stays awake while the counter is open • Counts pattern repeats, not just rows: set the repeat length and see exactly where you are inside it • Row goal: progress in percent and an alert when you reach the end • Row reminders: "decrease every 6 rows" or "buttonhole on row 40" — with a buzz and a preview of what's next • See when the counter last changed; an accidental Reset can be undone • Your count is saved automatically

STITCH PATTERNS • Essential stitch patterns with row-by-row instructions and a drawn chart: garter, stockinette, ribs, seed stitch, garter ridges, mesh lace, eyelets, a cable, fisherman's rib • For each one: repeat length, stitch multiple, difficulty, and a practical note

TIPS • Practical techniques by stage: swatching, selvages, joining a new skein, dropped stitches, loose bind-off, blocking, dye lots

REFERENCE • Searchable abbreviation glossary: k2tog, ssk, yo and more • Needle sizes (metric / US / UK) • Yarn weights by the CYC standard (0–7) • My needles & hooks: sizes in mm/US/UK, cable length, notes; the sizes you own get a check mark in the charts • A "How to use" tab with a step-by-step guide

CROCHET • A Knit / Crochet switch: crochet abbreviations with US and UK names side by side (US sc = UK dc) • Stitches with turning chains, a hook size chart, and crochet tips • The distribution calculator writes increases and decreases in crochet terms

PROJECTS • Up to 3 projects free, unlimited with Pro • Several counters per project (body, sleeve, pattern repeat), each with a goal and reminders • Timer: see how much time went into each piece • Finished works: complete a project, add a photo of the finished piece and your own star rating • Share a finished project card: photo, time spent, rows and yarn

PLETINKA PRO — 7 DAYS FREE Gauge calculator: from a 10×10 cm swatch, how many stitches to cast on for your yarn and needles. Even distribution of increases and decreases: "I have 96 stitches, I need 72" — and you get the exact sequence. Yarn stash: a card for every skein — color, fiber, length, photo, and notes. Yarn usage calculator: how much yarn a project needs and whether what you already have is enough. Garment calculators: top-down raglan, round yoke, sleeve, hat (cast-on, body rows, crown decreases by sectors) and top-down socks (cuff, heel flap, heel turn, gusset, toe) — for your gauge and measurements. Amigurumi: crochet in the round with a round-by-round table of increases, decreases and stitch counts. Repeats: how many stitches to cast on so a pattern fits your width. Pattern photo or PDF with a row ruler, page by page — a highlight bar marks the current row; the app remembers the page and ruler position. Unlimited projects and a full backup of your data (PDFs and tools included) to a file.

FULLY OFFLINE AND PRIVATE No accounts, no sign-up, no ads, no trackers, no data collection. All your projects, counters, photos, and notes stay on your device. The only outside connection is the Pro purchase, handled by the App Store.

Pletinka is for anyone who knits on the couch, on a commute, at a cabin with no Wi-Fi, or on a train with no signal — and just wants an app that works.
