KnitDot is a row counter for knitters. Keep your pattern and your count on one screen, one project per garment, one counter per piece.

Getting started

1. Make a project. Tap the + on the home screen and give it a name. The name of your pattern or garment works well.
2. Add your pattern. On the project screen, tap the pattern button at the top. Pick a PDF from your files, or type the web address of an online pattern. You can also knit without one: the app then shows one dot per row you have knitted.
3. Count. Tap + after each row and − to take one back. Hold the number to type a row count.

Pieces

A project has one counter per piece: front, back, sleeve, and so on.

• Add a piece. Tap + at the end of the piece tabs and pick a name, or type your own.
• Rename a piece. Tap the tab that is already selected.
• Delete a piece. Hold its tab.

Patterns

• Draw on a PDF. Use the pen or highlighter in the floating toolbar. Undo takes back the last stroke; the bin clears them all. Your marks are saved in the app's copy of the PDF.
• Scroll and zoom. Pinch to zoom and drag with two fingers. One finger draws when a pen is selected.
• Remove a pattern. Tap the × at the top. The project and its counts stay.
• Dots. When no pattern is attached, each dot is one row. Drag from one dot to another to mark a stitch between them. Hold on the dots to clear those marks.

Timer, notes and history

• Timer. It runs while you knit and keeps your total for the project. Hold it to reset it to zero.
• Notes. Switch to Notes at the foot of the screen to write down changes, yarn, or needle sizes. Tap a note to edit it, swipe it left to delete it.
• History. One line per counting sitting, so you can see when you knitted and how far you got.
