Knit Row Pilot — pattern-aware row counter / 編み目パイロット
Paste your knitting pattern text (e.g., 'k2, p2, *k1, yo, ssk; rep from *') and this tool automatically expands it for your cast-on count, parsing stitch by stitch with a persistent row counter that survives closing the tab. Unlike traditional tally counters, it catches divisibility mismatches before they become expensive mistakes.
How to use
- Paste your knitting pattern instructions into the input box (e.g., “k2, p2, *k1, yo, ssk; rep from * to end”). The tool accepts standard knitting abbreviations.
- Enter your total cast-on stitch count.
- The tool parses the pattern and expands it for your stitch count, computing the exact sequence and displaying what comes next.
- Tap the counter to advance through each stitch; when you reach the end of a row, it automatically advances to the next row.
- Your row number and current stitch position are saved to your browser via localStorage—close the tab, take a break, and return anytime to pick up exactly where you left off.
Tip: If the tool flags that your stitch count doesn’t divide evenly into the repeat pattern width, double-check your cast-on count or pattern—catching math mismatches early prevents wasted knitting.
