Questions, answered
CrochetGrid FAQ
Is CrochetGrid crochet chart software for Mac?+
Yes. CrochetGrid is a native macOS chart editor built for crochet symbols, rows, rounds, repeats and publication checks rather than general-purpose illustration.
Can I make crochet charts in rows and rounds?+
Yes. Start with a row-based or round-based layout, choose the active row and place symbols onto snap-aware positions.
Which crochet symbols are included?+
The current MVP includes chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, picot and increase symbols.
Does CrochetGrid check stitch counts?+
Yes. Set the expected count for a row and CrochetGrid reports missing positions, overlaps, incomplete repeat brackets and count mismatches before export.
What can CrochetGrid export?+
It creates an SVG chart, a printable PDF, a legend CSV, editable project JSON and a SHA-256 manifest inside a ZIP copy. Your source project remains separate.
Does it upload my patterns?+
No. Pattern editing, validation and export run locally in the current Release build, with no account required.
How much will CrochetGrid cost?+
The price is US$24 as a one-time purchase for one Mac, with no subscription. Secure checkout and DMG delivery are handled by Polar.
