Skein is the crochet companion built for how you actually make — count rounds and stitches, work bracketed repeats, keep your pattern and yarn close, and never lose your place again. Made for amigurumi makers, blanket and granny-square lovers, and garment crocheters alike.

Most counters are adapted from knitting. Skein is crochet-true: a round counter PLUS a stitches-in-this-round counter that resets every round — the amigurumi essential. Set a target (say 48 sc), and Skein cheers you on when you hit it.

★ COUNT THE CROCHET WAY
• Round + stitches-in-round counter, with an optional target per round
• Auto-reset your stitch count on “Next round”
• Repeat helper for bracketed patterns like [2 sc, inc] ×6 — tick off each repeat without recounting
• Count hands-free with your volume buttons, so you never fumble mid-stitch
• Keep-screen-on while you work
• Run several counters per project

★ KEEP EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
• Projects with a cover photo, notes and progress pics
• Pattern keeper — import a PDF or photo, pinch to zoom, and drag a progress line that’s saved per page
• Tutorial videos — save the YouTube tutorial you’re following to each project and watch it inline while your counters stay on screen
• Yarn stash — brand, fiber, weight, yardage, grams, dye lot, colorway and quantity
• Hook inventory — sizes in mm and US letter/steel, plus what you own vs. still need

★ TOOLS & REFERENCE
• US ⇄ UK stitch glossary (always free) — stop getting burned by sc/dc differences
• Gauge calculator — stitches & rows for any measurement

★ HONEST & PRIVATE
• Works offline — your projects, stash and notes stay on your phone
• No ads. No account. No data harvesting.
• No subscription — one optional one-time purchase, yours forever

Start free with the counters, the full glossary and the gauge calculator. Skein Pro (a single one-time unlock) adds unlimited projects and stash, the pattern keeper, the in-app tutorial player, yarn-color themes, and backup/export. The glossary is always free.

Whether you’re counting to 48 sc on a tiny amigurumi or tracking rows on a blanket, Skein keeps your place so you can just hook.
