Made by a knitter, for knitters

I kept frogging sweaters that didn't fit. So I built this. Sizing based on M. Müller & Sohn tailoring — borrowed from tailors who've been solving fit for a century.

I built Knitticate because I kept frogging sweaters that didn't fit — and couldn't find a tool that handled my gauge, my measurements, and my body shape all at once. The sizing proportions are based on the M. Müller & Sohn professional tailoring system, adapted for knitwear stretch and ease. Not invented — borrowed from tailors who've been solving fit for over a century.

Knitting is slow, deliberate, and completely yours.

What knitters say

★★★★★

“First sweater where my wide hips and narrower shoulders were actually accounted for. Not boxy, not tight — just right for once.”

— Anna K., Netherlands

★★★★★

“It suggested drop shoulders for my sloping shoulders. I didn't even know that was a thing. The explanation made total sense.”

— Petra M., Austria

★★★★★

“Finally I understand why a pattern fits or doesn't. The shaping explanations are genuinely useful.”

— Claire B., UK
