The KnitsThatFit apps create custom knitting patterns, and have many advantages over conventional printed patterns. There are two KnitsThatFit app – one that creates sweater patterns, and one that creates hat patterns. Both apps have been available for iPhone and iPad users for more than 6 years, and KnitsThatFit Sweaters is now available to Android users too. If you’re wondering what the KnitsThatFit Apps can do, you can find an overview towards the bottom of this page.
In the past some of you may have been using other programs or apps which are no longer available, such as KnitWare or Bellish. The KnitsThatFit Apps are a great alternative and have many advantages too.
Latest Updates
Android App Update April 2025
*** FIX FOR ANDROID PATTERN LIST ***
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR USING KnitsThatFit ON ANDROID!
Some Android users have been finding the pattern list empty when the app has been updated. In the March update, I made some changes in the code to improve the way that pattern data is stored and retrieved from storage into the pattern list, in order to prevent this issue. In the April update, I have made the new methods even more robust. With these updates, I am confident that nobody will experience the dreaded ’empty pattern list’ in the future!
Until earlier this year, I no explanation for how or why patterns were apparently disappearing from the pattern list. It was certainly not caused by any changes I had made myself. I was simply storing the pattern data to the internal storage of the users device, and then reading the data back to create the pattern list, and I had not made any changes to that code.
More recently, I discovered that the data storage mechanism (part of the programming language, not my own code) encodes the data and then decodes it again to be read, but that the exact encoding/decoding might possibly change from one app update to another! This is a possible cause for patterns to apparently disappear – they exist in storage but simply can’t be decoded if the encoding has changed. To prevent this ever happening again, I was able to add a ‘key’ to my own code, to make sure that the encoding/decoding never changes again. Unfortunately and unavoidably, any patterns previously encoded with a different ‘key’ will never be able to be read with my fixed ‘key’. To reduce this risk, I used the ‘key’ that preserved all of my own patterns in my list.
The March update used this updated code. Unfortunately, some Android users may have seen the dreaded ’empty pattern list’ after updating in March, if their pattern list included patterns that had been encoded with a different ‘key’ in an older release. The same goes for anybody who skipped the March release but updated with the April release or later. This is unavoidable but necessary to prevent empty pattern lists with further updates.
KnitsThatFit for Apple Devices has been unaffected by this issue.
