Pro tips
- Analyze Photo is perfect for recreating a piece you found online — use a clear, well-lit image.
- Match the Skill Level to your comfort — Fair Isle and lace jump in difficulty fast.
- Pick “-- Other --” on project type or theme to type your own idea.
- The image prompts feed an AI art generator; the pattern is what you knit from.
