KnitYourPhoto – Turn Your Photos into Knitting Projects
Transform your favorite photos into beautiful, unique knitting patterns! Whether it's a portrait, landscape, or pet – KnitYourPhoto creates one-of-a-kind templates as unique as you are.
How It Works:
Choose a photo from your library. The app analyzes the colors and automatically creates an optimized knitting pattern. You set the size, number of colors, and your personal gauge – KnitYourPhoto calculates the rest.
Perfect Color Palette:
Intelligent color quantization reduces your photo to your desired number of yarn colors. This gives you a pattern that's realistic to knit while preserving all the important details of your image. Tap any color in the palette to highlight it in the pattern – perfect for colorwork knitting.
Preview Mode:
Shows you how the finished piece will look – perfect for checking before you start.
Knitting Mode – Flat & Circular:
Displays rows exactly as you'll knit them. In flat knitting mode, wrong-side rows are automatically mirrored so you always know which stitch comes next.
Stay Organized:
Simply tap a row number to mark it as complete. Finished rows are subtly dimmed so you can focus on your current work.
Flexible Navigation:
• Free scrolling: Move freely in all directions through your pattern
• The mini-preview in the title bar always shows your current position in the overall pattern
Custom Settings:
• Set target size in centimeters
• Enter your gauge (stitches and rows per 10 cm)
• Choose number of colors (2-16 colors)
• Adjust zoom level for optimal readability
• Show/hide color palette

Hello everyone! New: Yarns & Shopping. For every color in your pattern you see the stitch count and share, and you can note the yarn, such as brand and color number. Weigh a 10 × 10 cm swatch and the app estimates the amount per color in grams and balls – perfect to take along to the yarn shop.
KnitYourPhoto now also speaks Norwegian and Swedish. And under Settings › About you'll now find a link to the user manual in your language.
Enjoy your next project!
