Crochet Creator is a pattern-building app for iOS designed specifically for crocheters. It helps you create, organize, and manage your crochet patterns with an intuitive chip-based editor that handles stitch counting automatically.

Crochet Creator runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later.

Crochet Creator is currently iOS only. There are no plans for Android or web versions at this time.

Currently English only, but we're open to adding more languages if there's demand. Let us know!

Crochet Creator is currently in closed beta. Join the waitlist to get early access.

Instead of typing out patterns like a document, you build them using "chips." Tap a stitch count, select a stitch type, and the app creates a structured, visual representation. This makes editing easy and enables automatic stitch counting.

The app includes 30+ pre-defined stitches and modifiers covering basic stitches (sc, dc, hdc, ch, sl st), increases and decreases, loop modifiers (FLO, BLO), post stitches (FP, BP), extended stitches, Tunisian stitches, specialty stitches (bobble, popcorn, puff, cluster, shell), and magic ring foundations.

Our stitch library follows the Craft Yarn Council standards for terminology, abbreviations, and yarn weight classifications. The CYC is a nonprofit trade association that has set industry-wide guidelines since 1981.

Yes. While the app auto-calculates stitch counts based on your increases and decreases, you can override the count for complex or unconventional patterns.

Select consecutive stitches and group them into a repeat. The app displays them in bracket notation (e.g., [sc, inc] ×6) and correctly calculates the total stitch count.

Absolutely. Choose from 16 preset yarn colors or use the color picker to add any custom color. Color changes appear inline in your pattern.

Yes! Capture images directly from your camera and add them with captions. Great for documenting tricky steps or showing progress.

Yes. Add inline note chips anywhere in your pattern to remind yourself of special techniques or tips.

Each pattern lives inside a project. Projects store metadata like hook size, yarn weight, brand, and color alongside your pattern sections and notes.

Yes. Search by project name, yarn brand, or yarn color to quickly find what you're looking for.

Sections let you divide your pattern into logical parts, like "Head," "Body," or "Arms (×2)." Each section can have its own starting color and repeat count.

Yes. Export your entire library or individual projects as .crochet files. These portable archives can be saved to Files, iCloud, or shared with friends.

Open a .crochet file and the app walks you through restoring. If a project name already exists, you can choose to replace it, keep both, or skip.

Yes! Export a single project as a .crochet file and share it. The recipient can import it directly into their app.

Yes. All your patterns are stored locally on your device, so you can use the app without an internet connection.

We don't currently collect any user data. We may add optional analytics in the future.

No. Your patterns are stored locally on your device. iCloud syncing is coming soon for those who want it.

No. We do not sell your data.

Some features on our roadmap include PDF export, iCloud sync, and more sharing options. We're always open to ideas, so reach out and let us know what you'd like to see!

Yes! We encourage you to commercialize your patterns. The app is designed to help pattern designers create and organize their work.

I'm Alex Patterson, a software engineer from northern Utah. My wife is a crochet hobbyist who creates her own patterns. We run an Etsy shop called Patty's Print and Stitch together (she handles most of that business). This app was born from watching her work and wanting to build something that makes pattern creation easier.
