This app is wonderful. I love that it tailors the directions to the size I choose. The only thing I think it lacks is a way to check off the steps once I complete them so I can keep my place. Also, for directions like “knit 4 rounds” I would love if 4 check boxes were available so I could keep my place within those specific directions. I don’t get big chunks of time to sit and knit, so being able to come back and know exactly where I am in the pattern would be ideal. Other than that, this app is great and I highly recommend it!

I’m enjoying using this app. I like that it’s easy to connect to my Ravelry account. The ability to see only the stitch counts and instructions I need is fabulous. This app will definitely increase my willingness to choose Tin Can Knits patterns in the future. I hope future updates will include a highlighter and a row counter.UPDATE: The row counter and highlighter I wanted has been added and is FABULOUS. Tapping the arrow at the bottom of the screen takes you row by row through the pattern, and includes repeats of instructions, like in the gusset of a sock, and it even keeps count of how many repeats you’ve done. LOVE. It’s turned a 4-star app into a 5-star app, and I’m looking forward to the addition of new patterns so I can further enjoy the ease of using this app.

i’m brand new to knitting and really wanted to knit my first sweater. someone suggested this app and i’m so glad i listened to them!! there are 10 free patterns to choose from. depending on the pattern, you can choose yarn weight, garment size, and other little customizable details. the app does all the math for you and consolidates your choices into a neat, easy to follow pattern! plus each abbreviation and technique have hyperlinks to TinCanKnits’ blog, where you can find in depth, detailed information on how to do a specific stitch! the Flax sweater i knit for my son turned out so well that i jumped right into the Beloved Bonnet pattern, and its knitting up so fast. thank you so much for this wonderful app! i don’t think i would have ever learned to knit this fast.

Tin Can Knits was how I taught myself to knit, and I’ve recommended it to so many people — whenever I have a new project, I tried to use the app-enabled patterns as my first preference. But the new update made it so much less user-friendly. It used to automatically count my rows with just the down arrow, and now I have to enter it in manually. Instead of seeing only the info for my pattern, I’m now seeing drop downs for different versions of the pattern (I’m working on the basic beanie 2x2 rib). I had it set to have the full terms throughout the pattern, and now it’s all abbreviations that I have to click through to read. I really, really want to support y’all and keep using this, but the update made it so much less user-friendly that I will probably just go to paper patterns after I finish this project.

- The app now works without internet connection, if you opt in to offline sync - Viewing and tapping through charts is now more crisp and streamlined - You can now pinch-zoom for easier reading in the pattern PDF viewer
