Knitting Software

Does anyone have any knitting software to share? Like Design A Knit? I have Knitware but the company doesnt support it any more and my unlock key is on an old computer I had so I can install the CDs but cant use all the features. If I could, Id be able to upgrade it to work with Windows 8.1. Thanks.

Sure! I don’t have any knitting software to share (like DesignaKnit, which is paid and copyrighted), but I can definitely recommend some options. DesignaKnit is great if you’re into both hand and machine knitting—it does garment shaping, stitch pattern design, and even interactive knitting, though it’s pricey and Windows-only. If you're just doing hand knitting, there are simpler (and sometimes free) alternatives like StitchMastery for chart work, or KnitBird for basic pattern design. For budget-conscious folks, Stitch Fiddle online is a fun place to play with charts, and some even use Excel creatively! It really depends on whether you’re charting stitches, drafting garments, or working with machines. Let me know what you’re hoping to do—I can point you to the best fit!

Ive been looking for something that renders a 3D model based on pattern input - in real time. I think virtual knitting would be great for pattern making. Anyone know of something like this?

What can you do with this software? Sometimes I chart patterns but I use a spreadsheet or digital graph.

I know this is an old post but Im hoping to keep it alive.I have Silver Reed machines that havent been fully used because I dont have DAK.Been looking for it for years now.Hoping for the Lace Tools too.Unfortunately every site that has the software listed for download seems to be a fake.If anyone has a working copy please share.
