About Stitchbay
A row counter that keeps your place, for knitting and crochet. Start a project from one of our 52 patterns and Stitchbay shows the row you’re on with its stitch count, which repeat you’re in and the next row, moves on with a tap, the keyboard or a Bluetooth page-turner pedal, and can read each row out loud. Every row of every size of our patterns is checked by a stitch counter before we publish, so the numbers always add up; switch crochet patterns between US and UK terms and every measurement between centimetres and inches. Bring your own pattern as a PDF or photo and a highlighter bar marks your row and follows the counter. Add as many counters as a project needs, link them so repeats roll over, set shaping reminders, track yarn, notes, photos and time. Draw colourwork charts for knitting, tapestry crochet and corner-to-corner (C2C), turn a photo into a chart, and work any chart row by row. Learn the stitches with step-by-step lessons that have a picture for every move, look up any abbreviation with its chart symbol, and use the calculators: increase or decrease evenly (written out, row-ready), gauge, cast on for a size, resize a pattern, yarn needed, needle and hook sizes and yarn weights. Keep a yarn stash and send it to Gridwork. Pro adds the 36 Pro patterns (socks and ankle socks, mittens, a raglan jumper and a baby jumper, cabled and bobble hats, a beret, a bucket hat, scarves and cushions, shawls and a wrap, lace, blankets, bags, baskets and amigurumi animals), more than three projects on the go, bigger charts and photo to chart, a bigger stash and the time tracker. No account: everything stays on your device.
