31I want to use the Smart Pattern Reader
Track rows, take notes, follow charts, and manage shaping beside your PDF
The Smart Pattern Reader puts your row counters, notes, shaping guides, stitch markers, and voice commands in a sidebar right next to your pattern PDF. Everything you need while knitting, in one place.
Open any pattern PDF from a project and the sidebar appears alongside it. Your counters, notes, markers, and shaping guides all live here, right next to the pattern text you're following.
On phones, the sidebar hides to give your pattern the full screen. Tap the toggle in the top-right corner to slide it open. On tablets and the web app, the sidebar sits beside the PDF permanently so you see everything at once.
Row Tracker mode gives you the essentials: row counters, reading guides, design choices, and notes. Perfect for simpler patterns where you just need to count rows and keep a few notes.
Smart Tracking adds Knitting Setup for defining chart regions on your PDF, a Session Timer, and Voice Commands. Advance your counter and the current chart row highlights automatically. Ideal for colorwork, lace, or cable patterns.
Full Knitting mode unlocks every tool: Shaping guides for increases and decreases, Counter Helpers for repeating sections, Stitch Markers on chart cells, and Pattern Snapshots to pin chart keys or sizing tables beside your pattern. Combined with voice commands, you can knit complex garments hands-free.
Your entire sidebar state syncs to your Ravelry account. Start on your iPad at home, continue on your phone at knit night, switch to the web app on your laptop. Row counters, notes, markers, and shaping progress are all there — pick up exactly where you left off.
