StashBot

StashBot

Applorium Ltd

What people are saying:

"StashBot is that perfect combination of grace, functionality, and ease-of-use. Behind the pretty face, though, an intelligent engine delivers numbers you can trust. Unless you're a math genius with all the charts in your mind, this is the best $5 you'll ever spend on a knitting app."

- Clara Parkes, Knitter's Review

"StashBot is as pretty as it is clever."

- Meghan Fernandes, Pom Pom Quarterly

"Yardage requirements never looked so good."

- Amy Herzog, CustomFit

Buy yarn....smarter.

StashBot is your yarn shopping companion! When you find a yarn you can't live without, use StashBot to figure out how much to buy.

StashBot will pay for itself again and again as it saves you from buying more yarn than you need you need. At the same time, it ensures you will purchase enough yarn to knit the sort of projects you like.

StashBot includes yarn requirements averages for gauges 3 - 8 sts per inch / 2.5 cm.

Categories include:

- Vests, shrugs and sweaters (cropped, average and tunic length) in size 3 months - 62" / 157cm bust circumference.

- Hats, socks, and mittens in sizes Baby, Toddler, Child, Adult & XL Adult.

- Scarves, shawls, and infinity cowls in 3 typical dimensions.

All yarn requirements are presented in both YARDS and METERS, and you can easily switch back and forth between imperial and metric measurements.

YARN SHOPS: This is a great tool for you shop as it encourages knitters to purchase sweater quantities of yarn!

Knitting Calculator

Knitting Calculator

Tone Aurora

The knitting calculator computes how to increase and decrease stitches evenly. The app is responsive, simple and intuitive, and also contains a list of abbreviations and a counter.

Tip # 1:
Use the app to figure out where to make buttonholes by entering the number of stitches and the number of buttonholes to the decrease module of the calculator. Create the buttonhole when asked to "k2tog".

Tip # 2:
Use the app to figure out how to pick up stitches to make the placket even by counting the number of stitches per inch, subtract the number of stitches the pattern says it should be every inch, using the decrease module of the calculator to find where to skip a stitch when stitches are picked up "k2tog".

KnitsThatFit Sweaters

KnitsThatFit Sweaters

Jacqueline Raffo

KnitsThatFit Sweaters creates custom knitting patterns for Pullovers and Cardigans for any yarn, any size and any fit, and is used by both hand and machine knitters.
Patterns for a wide range of styles can be created with a choice of raglan, set-in sleeves or drop shoulder armholes, and a range of necklines and sleeve options (including sleeveless). There are also options for waist shaping with close fitting garments.
With an extensive range of standard clothing sizes for Women (International), Men, Babies and Children, all body measurements can be adjusted for a customised fit. The garment measurements such as length, neck width and depth, sleeve length are also fully adjustable. There is a selection of stitch patterns that can be chosen, but any stitch pattern can be used, and if the stitch pattern has a pattern repeat or a central panel, the app will give instructions to centre the pattern or adjust the stitch count for the pattern repeat, according to your choices.
