Design alternating-yarn mosaic crochet charts, preview overlay stitches, and follow chart-derived crochet instructions in your browser.
Release notes
- Mirrors identify centres by coordinates, group all five reflection types together, distinguish chosen types from implied types while keeping both visibly available, use familiar enable switches, and disable types unavailable at the current centre.
- Grid copies use inspector fields for spacing and offsets, with dimmer marching ants and unobscured shared borders.
- Crochet removes unused feedback space and the extra navigation divider, and its mode button uses the standard button appearance with a danger border for warnings.
- Saved projects omit empty selection placeholders while preserving reusable selections and their settings.
- Selections retain their original marching ants, with slightly dimmed animated copies and single shared borders; Grid grips show their neighbour spacing and stagger without jumping when grabbed.
- Middle-drag pans with every tool, and Rectangle and Wand show local Mirror axes while other tools show global guides.
- Tool menus open on hold or double press, temporary Pencil and Spill actions highlight their executing yarn, and selection variants use clearer icons.
- Pattern previews show mirrored content, and Pattern and Crochet controls use consistent fields and calmer danger accents; automatic guidance colours follow the yarns, and Clear design is available only when drawing content differs from the natural pattern.
- Selection and Mirrors group editable sources, centres, and copy axes consistently, with a No selection row, live paired coordinates, unavailable quarter turns, and overlapping placements prevented.
- Pattern shape changes keep selections attached to preserved stitches, prune vanished selections and mirror types, and switch unsafe copies off; returning to the original geometry preserves Undo and Crochet progress.
- Saved selections choose None, Grid, Circle, or Mirror with retained settings, canvas handles, and disclosed conversion of older selections; global mirrors use a compact centre editor, and both distinguish chosen and implied types.
- Compact Rectangle, Wand, Move, and Overlay tools remember their actions in accessible variant menus; mouse buttons and modifiers show the temporary selected action only while held.
- Fit keeps large charts centred and editable around overlay panels; rejected files explain the error without moving the view.
- Crochet wraps through a Whole pattern overview that shows all overlay warnings while retaining instruction progress; the final row or round keeps its focused guidance.
- Undo and Redo work from Crochet, return to Design, and restore project colours and the final position of keyboard moves using the chosen Move action.
- About preserves Settings and protects the chart from document shortcuts; cancelled gestures and failed Paste preserve the active selection and chart.
- Opening a different project, New, and Example reset chart orientation and fit the pattern to the workspace.
- Pattern, selections, mirrors, and Crochet share clearer controls and feedback using project colours, with stable selection actions, consistent preview scales, and undimmed instruction yarns.
- Crochet instruction lines wrap between stitch counts to show their full text, yarn-coloured number blocks span each instruction's full height, and Half and Quarter round numbers sit immediately above the chart.
- Pattern colour samples follow construction and extent, with diagonal mirror guides and marching selection outlines; colour resets are unavailable when the default is already selected. Invalid overlay warnings appear as exclamation marks at outward stitch positions.
- Crochet marks the current row or round's starting edge with a joined seam and triangle that scales with the stitches, compact instructions, and row numbers on yarn-coloured squares.
- Clear design removes drawing, selections, repeats, and mirror axes together, with Undo restoring them.
- Mirrors and repeats copy each edit's resulting yarn state. Saved selections use a row list and open through selection tools, with independent horizontal and vertical mirrors for both columns and rows of copies.
- Crochet preserves the open Pattern or Settings panel and canvas view, refreshes after palette edits, and shows clearer yarn, direction, progress, and error guidance.
- Selection and Move open their relevant controls automatically, while active mirrors and saved repeats apply consistently as you draw.
- Saved selections support reusable grids, rotations, and mirrors, with conflicts rejected before the chart changes.
- Pattern previews preserve source work while switching construction or centre-out extent and include resettable, contrast-aware canvas colours.
- Projects can store custom danger and accent colours, and Pattern can find a contrasting pair for the selected yarns.
- Saved-repeat grids extend in every direction with offsets and alternating mirrors; transformation repeats rotate or mirror around an editable centre.
- Repeat controls reject unsafe settings without leaving stale values active.
- Saved motif repeats are managed with their source selection and remain separate from Global Mirror.
- Mirror axes and saved repeats are stored in editable `.mcw` projects, while older project files remain supported.
- Crochet updates changed instructions efficiently and marks yarn, start direction, and invalid work more clearly.
- Design and Crochet share a stable canvas, with clearer view controls and more room for the chart.
- Overlay, selection, yarn, and pattern controls are grouped by task and work across mouse, pen, and touch input.
- Crochet shows clearer row or round instructions, preserves compatible progress, and supports direct navigation to any step.
- About provides New, Open, Example, and release notes in one place.
- Pattern settings stay open while you work, with live, undoable changes.
- Design and Crochet share one chart view, including a preview of completed work.
- Select by rectangle or colour region, edit symmetry guides directly, and preview drawing results.
- Improved touch controls, enlarged-text layouts, and file error messages.
- Show or hide stitch guidance independently from invalid-placement protection.
- Improved keyboard navigation and clearer control labels.
- Rotate the chart view without changing the pattern.
- The workspace adapts to desktop and phone screens.
- Your pattern, Undo history, and Crochet progress survive a browser refresh.
- Mirror and repeat pattern elements while drawing or moving selections.
- Move selections and create mirrored or repeated copies with touch controls.
- Initial browser editor with Rows and Centre-out patterns, drawing, overlays, selection, symmetry, files, and Crochet instructions.
