Frequently asked questions
Does it work the same for knitting and crochet?
The craft is chosen when the project is created; flat pieces are counted in rows, pieces in the round in rounds. The chart symbols depend on the craft; if the craft is changed later, the chart is deleted.
How does the pattern repeat work?
Enter the length of the pattern (e.g. 8 rows) and the row it starts on. As the main counter moves on, Purlio works out which pattern row and which repeat you are on and shows that row's instruction and its line on the chart.
I pressed once too often. What now?
The "−" button (or ⌫) goes back one row; Ctrl/⌘ Z undoes the last change. "Go to row…" jumps straight to the right row.
How are projects moved to another device?
Save one project or the whole library as a .purlio file and open it on the other device. "Back up…" carries all data and settings in a single file.
