AI stitch counter for crochet and knitting hobbyists who lose track
A mobile app that uses phone camera to track and count stitches in real-time as users crochet or knit, eliminating manual counting errors and dropped-stitch anxiety.
The problem
Crocheters and knitters frequently lose count of stitches mid-project, forcing them to unravel work or start over; manual counting is tedious, error-prone, and breaks creative flow.
Who has it: Hobby crocheters and knitters aged 18–55, primarily women, who spend 5+ hours weekly on projects and lose stitches at least once per session.
Why now: Computer vision models can now reliably detect yarn texture and stitch patterns; hobbyist crafting has exploded post-pandemic with Gen Z and millennial adoption; no mainstream app solves this despite being a perennial pain point.
