Pimp That Knit
The online tool to design your knitting motifs. And see them at your own gauge.
This Christmas, we’re knitting pouches from our leftover yarn. And every one is unique.
The launch price ends in:
Who am I?
Why I created Pimp That Knit
I’m Lucile, the designer behind Lucile Ateliers Designs. I’ve been creating knitting patterns for almost 10 years.
I never found a tool that suited me for personalising a knit. Square grids don’t look like the finished knit, because a stitch isn’t square. Since I couldn’t find software that was both accurate and fun, I built it. And I want to share it with you.
I love paper, but I also love the playful side of digital tools. I wanted an accurate tool that truly respects your gauge. And above all a fun one, that makes you want to play with colours.
And the real bonus: you then export your chart with written row-by-row instructions for your motif. Just like a knitting pattern.
What makes the difference
A stitch isn’t a square
On a classic grid, your motif gets distorted. In Pimp That Knit, you enter your gauge and the stitches take on the proportions of your knitting. Try it:
How it works
Three steps, then it’s all yours
I enter my gauge
Stitches and rows per 10 cm. The grid instantly takes the shape of your knitting.
I draw or pick a motif
Brush, eraser, fill, selection, mirrors, your own colours. Or a ready-made motif from the library.
I download
A PDF with the chart, row-by-row written instructions and the percentage of each colour.
And to get you started, a guided tour walks you through the tool step by step.
Everything included
What you get
The motif library
Motifs sorted by yarn weight, ready to drop into your grid. To start in one click, or to get inspired.
The Pimp That Knit tool
Right in your browser, nothing to install. Designed for tablet and computer. It also works on a phone, but a bigger screen is better.
The Personal Pouch pattern
This Christmas’s zipped pouch, knitted in one piece, designed for your yarn leftovers (any weight, any gauge, the possibilities are endless!) Included in English and French.
The tutorial
To get to grips with the tool step by step.
Your saved charts
Keep your creations as an editable file saved on your computer, and pick them up whenever you like.
Lifetime updates
One purchase. The tool evolves, and you reap the benefits.
The tool’s icons were drawn by Studio Border Line.
The pattern included
Personal Pouch, the leftover-yarn pouch
A small zipped pouch, about 21 × 10 cm, knitted in one piece, in any yarn. Your leftover yarn, a scrap of fabric, an upcycled zip. And a motif that’s all yours. The pattern gives stitch counts for each yarn weight and estimates the yardage.
And then?
Over to all your knits
The pouch is just the start. Then Pimp That Knit lets you personalise any of your knits: a hat, a sweater, mittens. You can even use it for a felted motif or for duplicate stitch!
