AI-powered knitting pattern generator
Snap a picture of a sweater. NeedleMind reconstructs the construction, calculates shaping, and produces a full printable pattern — optimized for your phone at the needles.
"I always wanted to reverse-engineer sweaters I loved. Now I just take a photo."

What NeedleMind does
Upload a photo from your phone or tablet. Works best with flat-lay or worn sweater shots — no special lighting needed.
The AI identifies stitch structure, colorwork, shaping, and construction method. No guessing — it maps what it sees to standard knitting notation.
Enter your needle size and yarn weight. NeedleMind recalculates stitch counts and row gauge so the finished garment actually fits.
Export a clean PDF with chart, written instructions, and row-by-row guidance. View it on your phone at the knitting machine, or print and keep it with your yarn.
The process
Take a photo of any sweater, cardigan, or knitwear piece. The clearer the shot, the better the reconstruction.
Our model reads the garment structure, identifies construction and stitch type, then builds a complete pattern with shaping instructions.
Get a printable PDF with chart, written rows, gauge-adjusted counts, and finishing instructions. Start knitting.
NeedleMind gives home knitters the pattern reconstruction tool they've wanted for years — built on modern vision AI, designed for the craft.
