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

Counter	Settings
Write any pattern, then press Count. 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 Save. Stitch abbreviations support regex too. You can even set the number of stitches for each abbreviation.

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
