Hi, I'm leviyi

It started with frustration — mine and everyone else's. I kept watching people in the crochet community get burned by the same thing: a gorgeous “pattern” that turned out to be an AI-generated image with instructions that don't add up. Literally — the stitch counts don't add up. People only find out twenty hours in, after buying the yarn and crocheting half a blanket that can't exist.

At the same time, the honest tools felt like they were built for other designers, not for someone who just wants to crochet her cat. Powerful editors with a learning curve, or converters that quietly mangle your photo and never warn you.

So I built the tool I wanted to exist: you upload a photo, and you get a chart you can actually crochet from — every cell a stitch, every color counted, and an honest quality score that tells you when a photo won't convert well. No magic, no hallucination, no pretending. Just math you can check.

This is a one-person project, built in the open. The conversion engine is open source on GitHub and published as a Python package on PyPI — the same engine is available as an MCP server so AI assistants can use it too.
