Your work
Your charts, ready where you left off.
Your next project starts here
Knitglow turns a chart image or PDF into a chart you can edit, then keeps track of your row as you knit. Knitting any chart is free, and a free account converts 3 of your own patterns a month.
Start a blank chart
Every cell starts as Knit. Pick a symbol and tap cells to change them.
Make a chart
From your pattern
Choose a pattern with a chart, and Knitglow turns it into a chart you can edit and knit.
Draw your own
A blank grid in the size you choose. Every cell starts as Knit.
Fit the chart grid
Tap a cell in the original.
Check the proposed rows and stitches. Keep row numbers and the legend outside the boundary; on a shaped chart, ones in its empty corners are fine.
Fine-tune corner positions
Percent from the left and top of the image.
Every cell takes the color it's filled with. You can change any color afterward.
Select one cell in the original, then tell Knitglow what it means. Add a sample for every symbol, including blank cells.
A sample's name spreads to every cell that looks like it, so check it against your legend.
Add a different symbol meaning
Cells like your samples are filled in. Unclear ones stay unknown for you to review.
A place for your next chart
Start from your pattern's image or PDF, or from a blank chart.
A practice chart for learning the app, not a garment pattern.
Symbols
Slide two fingers to move the chart, or drag the row numbers.
A ring marks colors already in this palette.
Arrow keys move between cells. Space applies the selected symbol. Keys 1–9 choose a brush, and Esc stops painting. An outline marks the selected cell. A corner diamond marks an uncertain cell; a dashed box, a close match still waiting for review.
Original pattern
Keep the original pattern beside your chart
Import an image or PDF page of your pattern to match its grid and symbols.
Your chart
Not here? Press Stop and add it with More symbols.
Each row is compared with the stitches the row below leaves. Rows with a symbol of unknown effect are skipped. Nothing is blocked: leave it if you meant it.
Selected cell
That's a lot of cells. Reviewing look-alike cells together is much quicker.
Review cells together
These are pieces of your original. Tap any that don't belong, then decide the rest all at once.
Not here? Add it with More symbols, under your chart.
