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.

I love this app! I tried learning how to knit like 20 years ago and it was a disaster. ForWhatever reason (existing post-2020?) I was feeling like I wanted to try again, and this app has been a game-changer. Having the tutorials linked in the instructions is so helpful, as is the thing that lets you keep track of where you are in the pattern (especially when you repeat 4 rows 12 times, for instance). It wasn’t intuitive for me to find that, but I was thrilled to stumble upon it. The only downside is that my screen time reports are now alarming, but it’s a good feeling being able to use my time on my phone to develop a new skill and create something tangible.
