Made by knitters, for knitters.

The best knitting patterns live all over the world — Japanese stitch dictionaries, French magazines, German designers, Scandinavian classics. We built KnitTranslate so a foreign PDF never has to stand between you and your next favourite project.

Our translation engine is trained to recognise stitch counts, gauge, sizing tables and the abbreviations every knitter knows by heart. We keep your numbers exact, your rows aligned, and we explain abbreviations as we go.

Our promise

• • Stitch counts and row numbers are preserved exactly.
• • Abbreviations are translated, not mangled.
• • Your files stay private and are deleted after 24 hours by default.
• • You always keep the rights to your original pattern.
