What is knyt
Knyt is a knitting platform from Stockholm. Right now that means Discover: knitting guides, from casting on to reading patterns. Next comes the app, which turns any pattern, whether a PDF or a printout, into something you can knit from directly. AI structures the steps, so you can focus on the craft rather than the technicalities.
An app for every pattern you own
We're building an app that turns PDFs and printed patterns into patterns you can knit from. AI reads the file, and you get a clean view of your size, with your row always saved. Subscribers get access first.
Smart Reader
A pattern reader, not a PDF viewer. See only your size, keep your row, knit offline
Imports
Upload a PDF or photograph a printed pattern. AI reads it, sizes, materials, instructions, and files it in your library.
Crafting Tools
Row counter, gauge calculator, yarn stash. The small tools you reach for mid-project.
