The chart editor that thinks in stitches.
StitchPress is built around the stitch. You place a dc, sc or ch and it already knows its own proportions, snaps to the rounds and rows you're working in, and spaces itself evenly. A charting tool that speaks crochet (and knit), made for the designers who write the patterns.
We started from the stitch.
StitchPress is built from the stitch up. The thing you place on the canvas is a real stitch — a dc, an sc, a chain — with its own proportions and its own place in the round.
Because the canvas understands what you’re making — rows, rounds, increases, decreases — your chart stays true to the work, and you stay in the flow of designing.
A dc already knows it’s a dc.
Drop a double crochet, single crochet, chain or slip stitch and it arrives at its own correct proportions — a dc stands tall, an sc sits short, a chain stays small. You think in stitches, and so does the canvas.
Rows, rounds, and everything in between.
Guides match how crochet actually grows: a line for a row, concentric rings for working in the round — amigurumi, tubes, mandalas — and arcs for granny squares. Add “6 dc in the ring” in one move and they space evenly and face the right way. One click distributes a round perfectly; nudge to fine-tune.
Chart along any curve.
Rows and rounds are just the start. Lay stitches along a freeform curve for spirals, shawls and organic shapes — and they still face the right way.
Colorwork charts that read like knitting.
Build fair isle, mosaic and intarsia charts on a true stitch grid with per-cell color and proper knit symbols — knits, purls, slips, twisted stitches and more. Charts read right-to-left, the way knitting charts do.
infoA heads-up: the knitting editor is still earlier than the crochet one and isn’t part of this pre-alpha round — it’s on the way, and we’re focusing the test on crochet for now.
The tidy-up, handled.
A legend that can’t drift
Your symbol key is built automatically from the stitches you actually used — so it’s never out of date, and you never type it by hand.
Written instructions (knitting first)
Turn a chart into “Row 1: …” written instructions. Live for knitting today; crochet’s geometry is genuinely harder, and we’d rather ship it right than fake it.

A web app that goes where you do.
StitchPress runs in any modern browser with full touch support, so charting feels natural with a mouse, a trackpad or your fingers. Every feature is on every device — nothing is locked away on a smaller screen.
Desktop

Tablet
RecommendedA generous canvas plus natural touch — a sweet spot for charting on the go.
Mobile
Fully supportedThe complete toolset in your pocket — every stitch and guide, on a smaller screen.
touch_appTouch is a first-class input here, not an afterthought. We recommend a desktop or tablet for the roomiest experience, but mobile gives you the full StitchPress — no missing features.
It’s early — and we want your eyes on it.
StitchPress is in active development. It's export-focused for now: there's no cloud saving yet while we figure out whether the core editing actually feels better to you. Your designs are yours — we're not doing anything with your patterns.
