My sister crochets and her pipeline for coming up with designs is going to Pinterest and hoping that the crochet patterns she finds appeal to her. Image-to-crochet pattern conversion is a useful solution to avoid the search-and-hope strategy.
Crochet Pix is a React and Flask web application that generates editable pixel art from images to design crochet patterns. It has features to allow downloading patterns as images as well as .crochet files to continue editing in the future. Another feature is generating images with prompts using AI and editing them.
The aim of the image analysis is to converge similar hues to the same one and reduce the dimensions of the input to help make images crochetable. scikit-image is used to segment and simplify input images.
