Everything after the graph
Photo, chart, real yarn, written rows checked against the chart, and a pattern PDF with your name on it, all in one app that works offline.
Included in the free version.
Start from a photo, or several sharing one yarn list, and StitchWing draws the chart at your stitch’s real proportions. It can clear the background by color and keep faces sharper, all on your computer.
Included in the free version.
Switch on Match to real yarn when you chart a photo, and every color becomes a real shade from a real yarn line, with its name and number.
61 yarn lines, 4,004 shades still made.
Shade names and numbers come from each maker’s published list, or its official store. Where none is published, the store’s item number is shown and marked as one.
Yarn brand, line and shade names belong to their owners. Colors on screen are approximate.
Comes with the paid plans.
StitchWing writes the rows for C2C, graphghan, knitting, beads, weaving and more, and checks every row’s count against your chart before it’s written out. Move a motif and they’re written and checked again.
These rows are worked out from the Little Sail chart when the page loads and checked tile by tile. A row that didn’t match would be marked instead of getting a check.
| Row | Shaping | Read | Colors, in order | Tiles | Checked |

Comes with the paid plans.
Finish a pattern and the listing pictures are ready: a cover with the finished look, a watermarked peek at the chart and a color card. Add a copy for each buyer with their name on it.
The full list

No. The free version is the way to try StitchWing, for as long as you like. Its limits are on the buy page; a paid plan unlocks the rest.
StitchWing keeps a recovery copy as you work, but it’s a safety net, not a guarantee: a crash or power cut may lose recent changes. Use Save to keep your work. Closing a chart with unsaved work asks Save, Don’t save or Cancel.
Plans get new features as they ship. Own It includes every feature in StitchWing 1.0, yours to keep, including the photo tools. After that, Own It gets security and maintenance fixes; anything added after release comes with All Access, monthly or yearly, or as a paid upgrade once one exists. We don’t give dates for planned features, and this page marks plainly which ones are coming soon.
.pat and .chart files open now, square for square: the grid, the thread colors with their brand names and numbers, and the backstitch outline. They open as a new StitchWing pattern; your original file stays unchanged. Use Save to keep a .stitchwing copy.
On the free version, an imported chart above the chart-size limit opens View only: no editing, printing or exporting. Charts made in StitchWing still open to view and print. If StitchWing says something was left out, compare the chart with your original before you start. See Open charts from other programs.
Check half stitches: some may arrive mirrored, and two halves along one diagonal arrive as one whole stitch. A .chart file comes in as a graphghan without designer details or notes, and some .chart files are locked by the program that wrote them.
