StitchCounter

An app to count your crochet patterns' stitches! Made with 100% SwiftUI, no UIKit, and 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

<table> <tr> <td> Counter </td> <td> Settings </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="Assets/counter.png"> </td> <td> <img src="Assets/settings.png"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><br>

• Write any pattern, then press <strong>Count</strong>. That's it!
• It's powered by regex, so your pattern doesn't need to be perfect.
• Press the big purple number to copy it to your clipboard.
• The breakdown lets you double-check to make sure everything is right.
• Have your own stitch abbreviations? No problem, just go to Settings, then press <strong>Save</strong>.
• Stitch abbreviations support regex too.
• You can even set the number of stitches for each abbreviation.

<details> <summary><strong>What's crochet?</strong></summary> <br>

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
