About this app

Create your own lace knitting design by combining pattern units (YouKnits) per drag & drop!
Works on phones and tablets.

The YouKnits Designer visualizes the about one hundred different YouKnits (some for free and some for sale) which are available from unikatissima's ravelry store.

You can see your personal design before you even start to knit it!
Simply drag & drop Youknits in the YouKnits Designer until you get your very unique design.
This design can be saved as PDF file containing
- an overview picture of your just made YouKnits design,
- for large patterns a page reference chart,
- the YouKnits distribution chart and
- a list of all the YouKnits you used in your individual design with links to the appropriate ravelry pages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some people think that the YouKnits are expensive.
Actually the eight YouKnits from the YouKnits lace basic set including all triangle YouKnits are for free. All examples at ravelry contain at least one combination made from free YouKnits only (basic set examples).
There is even a discount scheme:
Add more than one YouKnit at once to your cart and get a discount of up to 80% per YouKnit:
- 1 YouKnit = 2 $ (plus VAT)
- 2 to 6 YouKnits = 3 $ total (plus VAT)
