Yarn Squirrel
Knit & Crochet Pattern Library
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
ll your patterns. One cozy library.
Yarn Squirrel brings together your Ravelry library, imported PDFs, and pattern stash into a single, beautifully organized app. No more bouncing between tabs, digging through email, or losing track of that perfect shawl pattern you saved somewhere.
SYNC YOUR RAVELRY LIBRARY
Connect your Ravelry account and your full library, favorites, queue, and projects appear on your device — ready to browse even offline. Every pattern comes with photos, designer info, difficulty ratings, yarn requirements, and more.
IMPORT YOUR PDF PATTERNS
Drop in PDFs from Files, iCloud, or any app. Yarn Squirrel uses OCR to extract the pattern name, designer, yarn weight, and yardage automatically. Then it searches Ravelry for a match so you can link your PDF to full metadata — ratings, project photos, yarn suggestions — with one tap.
ONE LIBRARY, EVERY SOURCE
See all your patterns together. Ravelry patterns, imported PDFs, and linked patterns (the best of both) live side by side. Source badges let you see where each one came from at a glance.
MANAGE YOUR PROJECTS
Track every project from cast-on to bind-off. See what's in progress, what's hibernating, and what you've finished — all with color-coded status badges and linked pattern details.
BROWSE YOUR YARN STASH
Your full Ravelry stash, organized and searchable. Filter by weight, fiber type, or yardage. See colorways, care instructions, and how many skeins you have left.
SEARCH ALL OF RAVELRY
Search the full Ravelry pattern and yarn databases with powerful filters: craft type, yarn weight, difficulty, price, language, tags, and more. Sort by trending, most popular, or recently published.
