You create your own patterns
You have an idea for a sweater, cardigan or another project, and you do not want to force it into a ready-made pattern. You build your own construction, choose measurements, a swatch and knitting motifs.
Made for makers
Who is KnitLab Studio for?
For those who design on their own terms.
Whether you are writing your first original pattern or preparing professional instructions — KnitLab Studio helps turn an idea into an orderly project.
Who uses KnitLab Studio
You design patterns to sell
You write instructions for other knitters? Prepare clear charts, constructions, notes and materials you can use in a professional PDF.
You work with charts
Lace, eyelets, cables, textures, colourwork — instead of drawing everything by hand, you build the chart on a grid, edit the repeat and keep it in your library.
You want a project in your own measurements
You no longer have to hunt for a pattern that is “almost your size”. You enter a swatch and centimetre measurements, and the constructor converts the project into stitches and rows according to the chosen garment.
You modify existing ideas
A different neckline, length, width, sleeve or motif? KnitLab Studio is meant to treat a project as a starting point, not a closed recipe.
You like everything in one place
Chart, construction, swatch, symbols, notes, row counting and preparing the project for PDF — instead of several apps, scraps of paper and screenshots.
In practice
What designers make in KnitLab Studio
Sweaters in your own size
Enter your gauge and your own measurements in centimetres. The swatch calculator explains every number step by step, and the sweater generators and the raglan constructor turn the measurements into stitches and rows and draw every piece as a chart.
How to design a sweater in your own size →Charts with Japanese symbols
Lace, cables and textures drawn on a grid with Japanese (JIS) knitting symbols — and any missing mark drawn yourself in the symbol editor, with the same line weight as the rest of the palette.
How to read Japanese knitting charts →Your own repeat library
Save the repeats you work out, keep them in categories and place them across a whole front, back or sleeve at once. Every chart and every motif can be saved as a JSON file and loaded again.

Lay out the cover, charts, photos and notes in PDF Studio and export a finished PDF. In Premium the export is clean, without the KnitLab logo, so the pattern carries only your name.
