CrochetBuddy: Crochet & Yarn

CrochetBuddy is your crochet buddy. It works out how many stitches go in each round, how many chains to start with, and how many squares your blanket needs. Your projects, crochet patterns, yarn and hooks are in one place, so you always know where you are. That leaves your mind free for the crochet, and for enjoying it.

WHAT YOU GET
• Rounds, increases and blankets worked out for you
• Your crochet patterns at hand, with the counter on the same screen
• A row counter on the lock screen and in a widget
• An overview of the yarn and hooks you have, before you buy more
• US and UK crochet terms side by side, so every pattern makes sense
Four tabs keep it all in order: Tools, Projects, Yarn stash and Settings.

THE MATH DONE FOR YOU
• Rounds for circles, balls and tubes from a magic ring, round by round
• Even increases and decreases, in the round and back and forth
• The foundation chain for the width you want
• Blankets of granny squares and other motifs: how many, joining, border and yarn
• The pattern converted to your own gauge
• Yarn amount from a swatch
• Buttonholes evenly spaced along the edge
The answers are written the way a pattern would write them, in US terms such as sc and dc, or UK terms if you prefer. Check off each line as you crochet, and save the calculation in the project.

US OR UK PATTERNS
The same dc is two different stitches: an American dc is a British treble (tr), and a British dc is an American sc. Type a line from a pattern, and the app turns it from US into UK terms or back, and the table shows every stitch in US and UK terms with its turning chains. Look up hook sizes in mm, US letters and Japanese numbers, and where brands disagree, the app says so.

YOUR PROJECTS IN ONE PLACE
Each piece of crochet gets its own project with pattern, counters, yarn, hooks, notes and photos. Add a pattern as a PDF from your phone or as photos, scan its pages with the camera, or share it to CrochetBuddy from another app. Tap Continue, and the pattern opens on the page where you left off, with the counter ready at the bottom and a band over the line you are on.

THE COUNTER THAT KEEPS TRACK
Give the head, the body and the repeats a counter each with a goal, and feel a small buzz when you reach it. A reminder can show the right line on the right row. Count with a + from the lock screen, from a widget on the home screen or by voice. The time is counted while you count rows, so you can see how long each project takes.

AN OVERVIEW OF YARN AND HOOKS
Take a photo of the ball band, and the brand, grams, length and hook size are filled in for you. Your hooks are in the stash, and you can see which are in use and which a project is still missing. When a project is finished, the leftover yarn goes back in the stash.

A BUDDY YOU CAN TRUST
No account and no ads. Everything is calculated and kept on your phone, and the app works without a connection. The Google components used for purchases, reading ball bands and the document scanner send Google technical usage data – never your photos, patterns, projects or yarn. Export it all whenever you like. CrochetBuddy comes in 35 languages with each language's own crochet terms, in a light or dark design, and works with large text and TalkBack.

SEE THE APP FIRST
Look around the whole app with an example before you decide. When you are ready, choose a yearly subscription with the first 3 days free for new subscribers, or Premium – one-time purchase, which is paid once and never renews. The subscription renews automatically every year until you cancel it, and you can cancel it at any time in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions.
