Skein flows now. - Open the app and you're on your row counter, right where you left off. The Knit tab is the front door. - One Start Knitting button, everywhere. It opens one sheet with the three real sources: a pattern from your library, a size you graded, or blank sections. The tracker opens the moment you choose. - The grading calculator is four steps: what you're making, your gauge, shaping and sizes, and a real Grade button. Results show one size at a time with a size picker across the top, and Start Knitting This Size sits right there. - Your grade is saved. Close the calculator or quit the app, and your numbers and results are waiting when you come back. - A small tap of feedback when a grade lands. - No more iCloud explainer on first launch. Sync just works; the explanation lives in Settings. - Smaller fixes throughout.

Your patterns follow you everywhere. - iCloud sync: your patterns, PDFs, in-progress projects, photos, and yarn stash now follow you from iPhone to iPad to Mac. Nothing to set up beyond the iCloud account already on your device. - Two new constructions: Hat and Sock, with rolled, 1×1, or 2×2 edge options for the brim and cuff — six constructions in Skein now. - One pattern, every size: an exported pattern now reads the way a published one does — one set of instructions with every size in parentheses, not size after size repeated. - Exported patterns are reordered to match a real pattern's layout: materials, gauge, sizes, and notes up front, the instructions right after, and the schematic with finished measurements as the last page. - A one-time note explains what iCloud sync does with your data on first launch; find it again anytime in Settings. - Smaller fixes throughout.

A warmer Skein, and a free sweater to start with. - A new look: warm cream, espresso, and chestnut throughout. - The Chestnut Raglan, an original relaxed top-down pullover in nine sizes (XS to 5XL), is now built into the Patterns tab, free. - Add your own patterns: attach the PDF you bought, add notes and sections, and keep it in your library. - Row counter on your Lock Screen: open a project's tracker and its row count stays pinned to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can glance without unlocking. - See what the yarn will cost: add a price per skein and every size shows an estimated cost next to its yardage. - Your exported pattern now opens with a real schematic on page one, drawn to scale from the graded numbers — not a screenshot you have to add yourself. - On iPad, the grading calculator and workspace now fill the screen instead of floating in a small card. - Start a project straight from Home, delete yarns from your stash, and a handful of dead ends removed. - Accessibility: text everywhere now follows your Dynamic Type size, VoiceOver reads each card and instruction as one clear line, Increase Contrast is respected, and Reduce Motion turns off the confetti.

Skein 1.3 writes your stitch patterns into the pattern. • Lace & cable charts — pick a motif and Skein renders the chart, writes the row-by-row instructions (flat or in the round, matched to your construction), and snaps every size to whole repeats. Feather & Fan, 2/2 rope cable, seed stitch, and 1×1 rib to start. • Charts that grade — the motif's repeat drives the size run, so cables and lace land cleanly in all nine sizes. No other knitting app does this. • Every chart is verified like everything else in Skein: stitch counts checked row by row, and a chart that doesn't knit is refused with a reason — never printed.

Skein 1.2 adds the construction designers said was hardest to get right. • Set-in sleeves — the third construction, built the way pattern designers actually shape an armhole: bottom-up in pieces, with a built-in check that the sleeve cap truly fits the armhole it sews into (not just that the stitch counts add up). • Drop shoulder — the simplest, most classic construction, with the same fit-checking honesty as set-in. • Every size, every construction now estimates yardage — weigh a swatch and enter your ball band for an accurate number, or let Skein estimate from gauge alone. • Skein now runs full-screen on iPad. • New: an analytics opt-out in Settings, and a sharper app icon. As always: every stitch count Skein prints is verified to match the instructions it writes — no silent rounding, no stranded stitches.

Circular yoke construction Skein now grades circular yoke sweaters alongside raglan, with round-by-round increase instructions written out in full — the same verified math behind both. Sizes now run XS–5XL Nine sizes instead of seven, so your patterns reach more of the people who want to knit them. Live schematic Watch your garment take shape as you type. Every measurement on the diagram comes from the stitch counts your instructions actually produce. Stitch pattern repeats Enter your motif repeat and every size holds whole repeats, so cables and lace land cleanly. Skein tells you exactly how far that moves the finished measurement. Multiple patterns at once The Designer Workspace now holds as many pattern drafts as you like. Your existing draft carries over automatically.
