Design Your Own Knitting Pattern with an App

Have you ever wanted to design a knitting pattern with an app?

Creating a sweater, cardigan or beanie has never been easier with our newest collab! Whether you are new to the knitting world, or if you consider yourself an expert, you’ll want to check out the latest knitting pattern generator app from Bellish. Sometimes all it takes to get started is some inspiration, easy-to-use technology and a great pattern. Bellish makes it simple.

What is Bellish?

Bellish is a free knitting pattern generator for anyone to design a unique pattern in minutes, no design skills required. Through their ‘pattern engine’ technology, Bellish offers thousands of knitting designs with interactive easy-to-follow digital instructions. The Bellish Free Knitting Pattern Generator is a free tool to help make designing & knitting your perfect pattern as fun and accessible as possible.

In design mode, you can flip through different options (features, size etc.) to see how each style looks before generating your very own pattern. Once the pattern is made, Bellish has an optimized readability system for bringing the patterns to life that:

  • Breaks down each row
  • Clearly defines abbreviations
  • Provides notes/pointers throughout the pattern
  • Features stitch checkpoints so you know you're on the right track (a crowd fave!)
  • Provides you with a sticky bookmark/highlighter to keep track of where you are
  • Row counters
