We’re in the middle of a BIG development push – we’re making the Tin Can Knits App *WAY* better. The best news is, when we launch our new version (in 6-8 weeks), you’ll be able to use it for ALL your Tin Can Knits patterns!
Haven’t tried the app yet? It’s free to download, and includes 10 free patterns! Try it today!

What’s changing?
We have LOADS of improvements we’re sure you’ll love, including:
- ALL of the Tin Can Knits Patterns in the app… even Strange Brew!
- 11 Collections and ebooks too!
- Linked up. It’s easy to add past purchases to the app.
- Simpler navigation. Move the highlight to any point in your pattern.
- Counters. Add simple counters anywhere you like!
- See JUST your size, or ALL sizes. Change size at a tap.
- Search, Filter, Tag, Favourites. Find that pattern QUICK.
- And… drumroll please… you can add your own PHOTOS.
This new version is packed with many more upgrades, these are just my top favs.
New patterns this autumn
Even though ALL the patterns will be in the app soon, we just can’t WAIT to launch our new designs – so we’re publishing them as PDFs for now. Buy them on release, cast on, then in 6-8 weeks they’ll show up in app format!
I know, I know, you love the TCK app format SO much and you ONLY want to knit from the app… But we really wanna share our new knits with you, and we know you’ll wanna cast on immediately!
Here’s a sneak peek of our new designs! Be sure to try our email updates, where we share helpful hints alongside every pattern launch!
Thanks for all your support throughout the years!

This is the best news ever! Your app is by far my fav place to knit from. It makes it so much easier to follow a pattern. I’ve made so many mittens and hats from there! Thanks ahead of time for the updates!

I’m thrilled about this development! Thank you for all the hard work behind the scenes to get this ready!!!

Such a lot of improvements – they’ll lift the app onto a new plane! Thank you so much for your outstanding work, your very special combination of creativity, fun and sound advice, and for your kindness and generosity in offering free patterns in the app, too.

Yay! I love the app and I hope this means that it’s doing well financially too. Can’t wait for the expansion. PS I’d love to see the Beloved Bonnet be released in more weights (although I already did the math to make a sock weight version, it would be nice if it were available in the app).
Keep up the amazing work!

Are you reading our minds?! We’ve got Beloved in multiple yarn weights coming!

I’ve been with you since beta and can’t tell you how much i love the app. But i suppose you can see that in the share data (lol). I would love to be able to change size within the app once i have started. I have noticed i do that s lot and at the moment have to delete my project and restart a new one.

Hello,
Which cable pattern(s) would you recommend as an introductory option for a novice?
Thanks,
G. Maxx

I would go with the Antler hat, or the Westerly hat for a first cable project. Or, if you’re more into sweater knitting, the Antler cardigan or pullover

I am so excited to hear that all your patterns will be in the app. Earlier this summer one of my knitting friends wanted to make a sweater for her granddaughter. She had never made a sweater before. She picked the harvest cardigan. I suggested that she use your app. She was very impressed with all the helpful videos that she could use to make the sweater. 2 weeks ago she finished the sweater in time for her granddaughter’s birthday. She found the app so helpful!
