The first mobile app crafted specially for crocheters

The light and rounded design, with bright colors that speak to the audience in a joyful tone, makes the use of an app pleasant and enjoyable.

Currently pattern creators published their instructions by PDF, with no unite format and not made for the mobile devices at all. This is why we decided to create a new format that solves it for a user and enables search, progress tracking, step by step interaction and makes a mobile app a one-stop for all the tools. We did an initial research with many crocheters in order to find out - what do you need?

Our motivation

How we started this project

The story behind

Many crocheters require “row counter" - basic counter with possibility to add - or + and a timer.

Row counter

Our goal was to create all the necessary items for the crocheters in one app, so that they would not have to switch through the apps or google something.

All-in-one tool

Patterns available online are most commonly sold by PDF files. It is re-selled & pirated, unsecurely stored, and lost every year. We had to fix that for the user and merchant.

PDF instructions

As a result, as artisans we have crafted an app that collects a huge number of functions that crocheters need in their daily job. Mobile optimised patterns, multiple row counters, unit converter, PDF upload & cloud sync, yarn, hook & needle warehouse - all that in one mobile app.
CrochetApp is the best friend of any crocheting artisan!
