A little help,
one step at a time.
Find your next action, replay the part you missed, and keep your knitting notes close.
How do I replay one action?
In Learn, choose a technique and connect YouTube when you are ready to watch. Tap a numbered action to play its section. Knitcue holds at the ending so you can try the movement. Tap replay to watch it again, or turn on repeat to loop the section. The next action starts when you choose it. With Reduce Motion enabled, choose an action and then tap Play.
Tap Full beside the numbered actions to watch the whole demonstration from the beginning. Choose a numbered action to return to that section. Repeat applies to a selected section and is turned off during full playback.
Use the playback speed control for a slower demonstration. The original YouTube controls remain available. Section boundaries are approximate and may vary slightly with playback.
What if a video will not play?
Check your internet connection, then try the action again. A creator may remove a video or disable embedding; YouTube may also restrict playback by region or device. If the technique has another source, choose it from the source menu, or use the original video link.
YouTube may show ads. Knitcue does not remove, replace or skip them. Written instructions and your project notes remain available without video. If the issue continues, include the technique, source and action number in your message to us.
Can I add my own demonstration?
Open the technique’s options and choose Add demonstration. You can add a YouTube link, or import a recording you own or have permission to use. Set the start and end of each action for that demonstration. These additions stay in your own library; Knitcue does not publish them to other users.
Knitcue does not download YouTube videos. Imported movie files are separate from a JSON backup.
How do I find a chart symbol?
Browse the grouped symbols in Learn, search a technique name or abbreviation, or use the drawing button in the search field. Sketch the symbol, then choose from the suggested matches.
Drawn search suggests supported symbols; it does not read a whole pattern. Symbols and stitch variations can differ, so check your pattern’s own legend before choosing a technique.
How do I count rows or correct a tap?
In Knit, tap the large row number or Finish row. Use Undo to reverse a recent change. The piece menu also includes the journal and an option to unravel to an earlier row.
Record changes as you work. You can use the changes you kept as a guide when starting a matching piece. Save a useful reference action or pin it to your project to find it again.
How do I move my work to another device?
Open Settings and choose Export a backup. Save the JSON file in Files. On the other device, open Knitcue Settings and choose Restore from a backup. Review the confirmation carefully: restoring replaces the projects on that device. Export its current work first if you want to keep both.
JSON backups contain project and reference information, including notes and action marks. They do not contain imported movie files. Keep those original files separately and reconnect them after restoring. Knitcue does not automatically sync projects between devices.
Can I use Knitcue without connecting YouTube?
Yes. Projects, row counting, notes and written references work on your device without an account. Video playback and availability checks connect to Google/YouTube only after you choose to connect.
To withdraw this choice, open Settings, then Video privacy & terms, and choose Disconnect YouTube. See the privacy policy for details.
Which languages and appearances are included?
The interface and written references support English and Korean. The curated video demonstrations are in English; captions depend on each original YouTube video. Three color themes and light and dark appearances are included in version 1.0.
