Capture
Paste pattern text, drop a PDF, or import from a URL. Mantis turns it into an editable chart you can actually work with.
The crocheter’s everything-app.
Capture any pattern. Do the math up front. Follow it hands-free. Built around a real chart editor with closed stitch vocabulary and hard-capped AI — so the answers are right, not just plausible.
Card required. Cancel anytime. The editor is free to try with no signup.
What it does
Three jobs, done properly.
Calculate
Yardage, gauge, swatches. The math is back-solved from your own swatch and the actual stitch composition of the chart.
Cook
Hands-free row advance with voice or a Bluetooth pedal. Per-stitch granularity. Persistent across devices — pick up where you left off.
Why it’s different
Math that holds up. AI that stays inside the lines.
Most crochet tools treat charts as pictures and AI as magic. Mantis treats charts as data and AI as a tool with hard caps. That changes what the product can promise.
We won’t let you save a broken pattern.
- Verified pattern math. Stitch counts add up before you cast on, not row 14 into the project.
- Closed stitch vocabulary. About thirty stitches, defined once, rendered consistently. No drift between import, editor, and chart.
- Designer permissions baseline. If a designer hasn’t registered, sharing and modification default restrictive. Personal use always allowed.
- AI with hard caps. Every AI feature has tier-bound limits and a per-request cost ceiling. No surprise bills, no off-rails answers.
