Sheepas - Crochet Charts
Design charts. Check stitches.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your crochet ideas into charts you can actually follow.
Sheepas is a crochet design and making app for building stitch connections, checking structure and stitch counts, and keeping project records.
Features
• Chart Editor — Build flat and circular crochet patterns with JIS stitch symbols
• Structure Checks — Catch inconsistent stitch counts, increases, decreases, and parent connections
• Knitting Navigation — Save markers, current position, sessions, and completion state
• Yarn Library — Save makers, yarn details, meters per ball, and photos, then assign yarn to a project
• Sharing and Import — Create chart cards, QR codes, images, and provenance notices
Sheepas does not estimate size from gauge, yarn usage, or required balls.

Sheepas 2.5.1 improves project creation and editing analytics.
• New projects clearly mark the project-name field as required.
• Editing analytics now include a hashed project identifier so events can be grouped by project. These editing events do not include project names or chart contents.
2.5.1 1d ago
New
• Track yarn stock by unused and started balls, including colors and dye lots. Record purchases, starting a ball, and finishing a ball, with undo support.
Improvements
• The yarn library now makes it easier to check your yarn photos, colors, and remaining ball counts. Search and filter yarn with unconfirmed quantities or no stock remaining.
• Yarn entry fields keep their labels and m/ball and g/ball units visible after you enter a value.
• Exported chart images now use stitch symbols without surrounding borders.
• The app now uses light appearance throughout. The Settings screen has been removed, leaving Projects, Yarn Library, and Help as the three tabs.
Fixes
• Fixed an issue that prevented the image export preview from opening for some older projects.
Your existing projects and yarn remain available. Stock for previously registered yarn is shown as unconfirmed until you enter its ball counts.

Sheepas 2.4.1 adds more ways to create and arrange your crochet charts.
Rename your project from the chart picker. The updated name appears in the header and remains saved when you reopen the app. The header layout, button sizes, and icon colors are clearer.
• The one-time Creator Tools Pack unlocks adding and replacing advanced stitches, stitch duplication, the circle ruler, and transparent PNG chart export
• Duplicate consecutive stitches in knitting order and choose where to insert and connect them
• Arrange stitches along a circle with the circle ruler
• Purchase or restore the pack and return to the operation you selected
• Updated icons and clearer controls for selected connections and converting connections to symbols
• Fixed stitch selection when zoomed out and duplicate autosaves while saving
Basic stitches remain free. Existing charts, including advanced stitches, remain available for viewing, moving, saving, and knitting navigation. Transparent PNG export supports charts.

Sheepas 2.3.0 helps you keep working on a project even before you have a chart.
• Add an in-progress project with a photo and a note about where to continue, then add a chart later
• Switch between editing and knitting, with clearer controls for stitches, yarn, markers, and edit history
• View project photos full screen and zoom or pan to inspect details
• Find grid and stitch-symbol options together in Display Settings
• Fix saving a chart added later, fields hidden by the keyboard, and chart display after switching charts
2.3.0 Sep 26
Sheepas 2.1.1 improves the standard App Store review request flow after you create and meaningfully edit a project. Empty projects and load-only actions do not trigger a request.
• Improve responsiveness when editing dense crochet charts by reducing visible-range updates and intermediate drawing work
• Fix valid legacy project data being sent to recovery; no migration is required
• Stabilize loading and display verification for charts with slip stitches so continuation markers and visible connections are preserved

• Stabilize loading and display verification for charts with slip stitches so continuation markers and visible connections are preserved
2.1.1 Aug 29
Added
• Per-chart Knitting Navigation now preserves progress, sessions, sections, and markers, and lets you switch charts from Notes. Existing single-chart and legacy data migrate automatically.
• Generate share cards and QR codes from the canonical chart document while preserving foundations and parent connections.
Improvements
• Improved canvas selection flows, display state, connection previews, connection direction, increase display, grid, and deselection for stitch insertion and parent changes.
• Improved editor overlays and accessibility so stitches remain visually stable during selection and direct manipulation.
Fixes
• Transactionalized canonical document and edit-history updates, with explicit handling for failures and invalid revisions. Legacy-data derivation, old wire formats, and the legacy Pattern adapter remain supported.
• Stop sharing when legacy data disagrees with the canonical graph, preventing incorrect QR codes.
2.1.0 Aug 26
Sheepas 2.0.0 adds direct chart editing and more reliable project workflows.
• Move stitches directly on the canvas and insert new stitches around a selection
• Arrange multiple stitches evenly or center them on a wide chart canvas
• Start circular projects with a magic ring without entering a stitch count
• Migrate existing projects to the current chart document while preserving layout, connections, and edit history
• Improve editing responsiveness, undo/redo, validation, and help content

Known limitation: Dense triangle shawls with fans and chain spaces may still have some overlap after the layout improvements.

## 追加
- プロジェクト一覧に写真を表紙として設定できるようになり、写真がない場合は5種類の抽象カバーから選べるようになりました。作成時の正方形トリミング、作成後の表紙変更・削除にも対応しています。
- アプリの主要画面を日本語と英語で利用できるようになりました。ヘルプ、編み図、共有、設定、糸、プロジェクト、ワークスペースの表示に対応しています。
- 編みナビに、編み進みに合わせたリズムのフィードバックを追加しました。
## 改善

- 同じ親へ同じ基本目を連続して追加したとき、2〜5目を増し目グループとして正しく表示できるようになりました。条件が曖昧な場合や上限を超える場合は従来どおり推論しません。
- 既存プロジェクトの表紙データとの互換性を保ったまま、写真表紙と抽象カバーを保存できるようにしました。旧形式の抽象カバーも安定して復元されます。
## 修正
- 作り目行を選択できず、作り目の変更・前後への追加・削除に進めない問題を修正しました。
- 編みナビのリセットで、区間・累計時間・セッション・開始時刻・完成状態を含む進捗全体が初期化されるようにしました。編み図の区切りマーカー設定は保持します。
- 編みナビの累計時間で、1秒が `00:10` と表示される問題を修正し、分・秒が正しい2桁表示になるようにしました。
1.3.0 Aug 1
## 追加
- 編み図を画像・QRコード・リンクで共有し、受信側でそのまま取り込めるようになりました。共有する糸は選択して取り込めるため、ライブラリを意図せず変更しません。
- 作り目をキャンバス上で編集できるようになりました。種類や目数の変更、前後への追加、削除に対応し、変更は取り消し・やり直しできます。
- アプリの外観をライト/ダークから選択できるようになりました。選択は保存され、ヘルプ画面から設定を開けます。

## 修正
- 共有カードの編み図表示とアプリアイコンを見やすくし、QRコードの容量制限をiOSでも正しく適用しました。
- QRコードの読み取り成功時に、視覚・触覚・VoiceOverで結果を知らせてから確認画面へ進むようにしました。読み取り失敗時は成功表示を出さず、再試行につながるエラー内容を表示します。
- 写真からの編み図取り込みでも成功・失敗のフィードバックを表示し、Reduce Motionやアクセシビリティ文字サイズに対応しました。
1.2.0 Aug 1
## 追加
- プロジェクト一覧と編集中の画面から、確認付きでプロジェクトを削除できるようになりました。
