Row counter with goals and reminders, a knitting and crochet reference, and garment calculators. Works offline — no account, no ads, no tracking.
Pletinka is a knitting and crochet companion: a fast row counter, a reference guide, stitch patterns, tips, and calculators in one place. Fully offline, no sign-up, no ads.
ROW COUNTER
• A big button you can tap without looking up from your work
• Long-press for −1 when you lose count and need to go back a row
• Haptic feedback on every tap
• The screen stays awake while the counter is open
• Counts pattern repeats, not just rows: set the repeat length and see exactly where you are inside it
• Row goal: progress in percent and an alert when you reach the end
• Row reminders: "decrease every 6 rows" or "buttonhole on row 40" — the app buzzes and shows what's coming up next
• See when the counter last changed, so you never wonder whether you already tapped; an accidental Reset can be undone
• Your count is saved automatically
STITCH PATTERNS
• Essential stitch patterns with row-by-row instructions and a drawn chart with symbols: garter, stockinette, 1×1 and 2×2 rib, seed and double seed stitch, garter ridges, mesh lace, eyelets, a 6-stitch cable, fisherman's rib
• For each one: repeat length, stitch multiple, and difficulty
• A practical note — where the pattern works best, whether the edge curls, how much yarn it eats
TIPS
• Practical techniques by stage: before you start, while you knit, finishing, and yarn
• Swatching and gauge, selvage stitches, joining a new skein, picking up a dropped stitch, binding off loosely, blocking, dye lots
REFERENCE
• Searchable knitting abbreviation glossary — no more guessing what k2tog, ssk, or yo mean
• Needle size chart (metric / US / UK)
• Yarn weights by the CYC standard (0–7)
• A "How to use" tab with a short overview and a step-by-step guide
CROCHET
• A Knit / Crochet switch in the reference
• Crochet abbreviations with US and UK names side by side (US sc = UK dc)
• Stitches with turning chains, a hook size chart, and crochet tips
• The distribution calculator writes increases and decreases in crochet terms
PROJECTS
• Up to 3 projects free, unlimited with Pro
• Several counters per project (sweater body, sleeve, and pattern repeat tracked separately), each with its own goal and reminders
• Timer: see how much time went into each piece
• Finished works: complete a project, add a photo of the finished piece and your own star rating
PLETINKA PRO — 7 DAYS FREE
Gauge calculator: from a 4×4 in (10×10 cm) swatch, it works out how many stitches to cast on for your yarn and needles.
Even distribution of increases and decreases: "I have 96 stitches, I need 72" — and you get the exact sequence.
Yarn stash: a card for every skein — color, fiber, length, photo, and notes.
Yarn usage calculator: how much yarn a project needs and whether what you already have is enough.
Garment calculators: top-down raglan, round yoke, and sleeve — how many stitches to cast on, how to divide them, and how often to increase or decrease based on your gauge and measurements.
Chart photo with a row ruler: snap a photo of your chart or written pattern in a project — a highlight bar marks the current row so you never lose your place, and it zooms with the chart.
Unlimited projects and a full backup of your data to a file.
Try every Pro feature free for 7 days — no payment and no automatic charge. After that, Pro is a one-time purchase that's yours forever: no subscription. The App Store shows the exact price for your country. The row counter with goals and reminders, the reference, stitch patterns, tips, and up to 3 projects are always free.
FULLY OFFLINE AND PRIVATE
No accounts, no sign-up, no ads, no trackers, no data collection. All your projects, counters, photos, and notes stay on your device. The only outside connection is the Pro purchase, handled by the App Store.
Pletinka is for anyone who knits on the couch, on a commute, at a cabin with no Wi-Fi, or on a train with no signal — and just wants an app that works.
