About This Tool

Made with love, yarn, and a lot of late-night knitting sessions

The Double Knitting Design Tool was created by Marina Levy — a devoted knitter who built the tool she always wished existed. As a personal project, maintained and funded entirely on her own, it brings together everything that was missing from other tools: purpose-built chart design for double knitting, with both mirrored and non-mirrored pattern generation. Shared freely with the knitting community, out of a deep love for the craft. You are welcome to share your own projects designed with this tool — we'd love to see what you create!

How It Started

I'm Marina, a devoted knitter with a deep passion for the art of double knitting. Like many of you, I spent years searching for the right tools to help me plan and chart my double knitting patterns — and kept coming up just short. The tools that existed were either too general, too complicated, or missing the specific features that double knitting demands.

So I decided to build my own.

"I put into this tool everything I was missing with the tools I had. Every feature here exists because I wished for it myself."

The Double Knitting Design Tool is the result of that wish — a purpose-built chart designer made by a knitter, for knitters. It understands the logic of double knitting: the two-color rows, the mirrored sides, the non-mirrored variations, the way a pattern needs to be read differently depending on which row you're on.

A Personal Project

This is not a startup or a commercial product. It's a personal project that I build, maintain, and host entirely on my own — in my own time, at my own expense. There are no investors, no team, and no advertising. Just me and my love for the craft.

I share it freely because I believe the knitting community is generous and collaborative by nature, and I want to give something back to the community that has inspired me for so many years.

Running this tool has real costs — server hosting, database, domain, and many hours of development. I offer it completely free because I want every knitter to have access to it.

If the tool has been useful and you'd like to help keep it alive, any donation is deeply appreciated.
