About Purlwise

Most people who pick up a hook or needles stop for the same reasons: a pattern line that makes no sense, a mistake they cannot see, or losing their place halfway through. Purlwise is built to get past those moments.

• Explain, don’t just count. Every abbreviation and stitch in a pattern is explained where you meet it.
• See what went wrong. A photo of your work is enough to name the stitch and find the mistake.
• Keep your place. Row counters, notes and your yarn stash live next to the pattern.

The free guides on this site are written to answer one question each, clearly, with US and UK terms.

Purlwise is coming to iPhone, iPad and Android.
