Knit & Crochet: Purl

For knitters and crocheters, on iPhone and iPad

Never lose your place again.

Knit & Crochet: Purl keeps your patterns, row counters, projects, and yarn stash together, so you can put the needles down mid-row and pick up exactly where you left off.

Everything on your needles, in one place

Built around the moments that matter: counting rows, following a pattern, and knowing what yarn you have.

Row counter

A counter that never drops a stitch

Tap anywhere on the big ring to count. Every tap is saved on your phone before the number changes, so a dead battery or a force-quit never costs you a row.

  • Extra counters for repeats, increases, and decreases
  • Row notes that buzz you when you reach the right row
  • Undo, long-press to set a value, and the screen stays awake
  • A docked counter bar that follows you around the app

Pattern library

Every pattern, open to the page you left

Import PDFs from Files, Google Drive, or Dropbox, snap a photo of a paper pattern, or save a web page. Folders and search keep it tidy.

  • A row marker you can drag down PDFs and photos
  • Your counter sits right under the pattern
  • Save any web pattern as a PDF to keep

Stash

Know what's in the stash before you buy more

Yarn with the yardage you have left, needles and hooks in both mm and US sizes, and every notion you own. Finishing a project takes the yarn you used off the shelf.

  • Filter yarn by weight and fiber
  • See which project each needle is working in
  • Check a pattern against your yarn before you cast on

Streaks & stats

Streaks that never guilt you

Pick a weekly goal that fits your life. A knitted-swatch heatmap fills in as you craft, rest days are built in, and reminders only show up when they'd help.

  • Time and rows per project, month by month
  • Weekly and daily streaks with free rest days
  • Sessions logged for you as you count

And a few more good things

Discover patterns

Search Ravelry and browse free pattern sites like Tin Can Knits and Yarnspirations, then save to your library in a tap.

Handy tools

An abbreviations glossary with US and UK crochet terms, a unit converter, and a wraps-per-inch chart.

Works offline, syncs everywhere

Counters, projects, and patterns work without signal. Sign in and everything follows you to your iPhone and iPad.

Finish with a flourish

Add a final photo, record the yarn you used, and share a recap card of your finished project.

Made for every hand

Big tap targets, full Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver labels throughout, so the app is easy to read and use.
