# How do I write my own knitting pattern?

https://rowandround.app/features/pattern-writer · Unlock · Kallos Labs

> In Row & Round’s pattern writer, you type your pattern as blocks: a single row, a range like “Rows 1 to 8: k2, p2”, a repeat, a heading or a note. The app numbers every row, lays it out as a clean page, and you knit from it with the same bar and counters.

## How it works

The writer expands ranges and repeats into numbered rows, shows right side and wrong side, and uses Row or Rnd to match your project. A repeat block offers its own repeat counter and counts passes, like “Pass 3 of 4”. Abbreviations such as k2tog are one list shared by all your patterns, with a starter set you can edit. Written patterns can be exported as a PDF. The pattern writer is part of the one-time unlock.

## When people use it

- Writing down a pattern from a book or magazine in your own words
- Designing a simple hat, scarf or dishcloth
- Keeping notes of the changes you made to a pattern

## Questions

### Does it write patterns for me?

No. There is no AI: the writer lays out what you type.

### Can I share a pattern I wrote?

Yes. Export it as a PDF and share it from the share sheet.
