Progress Tracking

Designing the pattern is half the journey; stitching it is the other half — usually the longer one. Progress tracking turns Knytstudio into your stitching companion: the pattern on your phone or tablet, your place always kept, no highlighter pens on a paper chart.

Starting

Open your pattern and choose Progress Tracker in the Pattern menu. The editor switches to progress mode, with a toolbar of three modes:

Move — pan and zoom the chart, nothing else. The default, so a stray finger never marks anything.

Search — tap any color to focus on it. The chart highlights where that color’s stitches are, which is exactly how most people stitch: one thread color at a time.

Mark — tap stitches (or drag across a run of them) to mark them done. Marked stitches dim so your eye reads remaining work at a glance.

A floating bar shows your completion percentage and how long this stitching session has been running. There is something quietly addictive about watching 34% become 35%.

Stitching one color at a time

The natural rhythm: search for the color you have threaded, mark its stitches as you complete them, then move to the next color. The per-color counts tell you how much of each thread remains — handy for judging whether tonight is a “finish the red” night.

Why it beats paper

Paper charts get highlighted, lost, and re-printed. Progress here syncs to your account, zooms without losing your place, and never confuses which copy is current. Combined with a PDF export for the armchair-only crowd, your pattern works however you like to stitch.
