ai pattern generator
The AI pattern generator that gets the counts right
AI does the part it’s good at — redrawing your photo in clean yarn colours. Then SoraStitch calculates every stitch, so the pattern actually works.

Why not let AI write the whole pattern?
Chatbots can write something that looks like a pattern, but the stitch counts often don’t add up. SoraStitch uses AI only to clean up the picture; the chart, the counts and the written rows are calculated and then checked against each other.
The result: fewer colour changes, recognisable faces and instructions you can trust.

Pets, portraits, kids’ drawings, logos or holiday snaps all work. The studio opens with graphgan already selected.

Clean it up and size it
Let AI remove the background and simplify the colours, then choose how wide it should be and how many yarn colours to use.

Get your pattern
Edit any stitch by hand, then download the chart, a colour key with yardage and row-by-row instructions — or follow along in Make mode.
Tips for better results
Let AI simplify, then edit
Run AI cleanup first, then fine-tune the chart by hand: a few painted stitches around the eyes make a big difference.
Try it with any subject
AI cleanup works on pets, people, flowers, landmarks and drawings; it removes backgrounds and flattens shading.

questions
Good to know
What does AI cleanup do?
It removes the background, simplifies shading into a handful of flat yarn colours and makes key details like eyes clearer.
How much does it cost?
Your first cleanup is free without an account. After that each cleanup uses 10 credits; a free account includes one cleanup, and Pro includes 500 credits a month.
Is my photo used to train AI?
No. It is sent only to produce your cleaned image and is not stored by SoraStitch afterwards.
Does AI write the instructions?
No — the instructions are calculated from the chart and checked, so the stitch counts always add up.
