by iOS Example

StitchCounter

An app to count your crochet pattern's stitches! Made with SwiftUI, no 3rd party dependencies. Powered by regular expressions. Download: Mac app • iOS ipa

Purpose

To count the number of stitches in a crochet pattern. My sister runs an Etsy shop, StuffingStuff, which sells crochet stuff and patterns. Supposedly, manually counting stitches to make a pattern is very tedious and error-prone. This app makes it easy.

Features

  • Press the number to copy it to your clipboard.
  • The breakdown lets you double-check to make sure everything is right.

What's crochet?

Crochet is a process of creating textiles by using a crochet hook to interlock loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials. The name is derived from the French term crochet, meaning 'small hook'. Hooks can be made from a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, bamboo, or plastic. — Wikipedia
