Do you mean software to create the stitch symbol diagrams?  

[artebella]

yes something like that..creating stitch symbol diagrams or create a whole pattern...for example i want a new pattern for a hat...insert some data to the programm (size, kind of yarn, etc) and make the pattern!! is possible this??? i don't know..or something similar..

I have to say I've never used this sort of software, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work this way--taking a soft copy of a written pattern, feeding it into the program, and poof - a diagram. 

 

I think its more like CAD softwere - computer aided design - which gives the designer symbols which allows them to "draw" a design.  Example, have you ever used any Office software to make a flow chart, program management dependency chart, or a personnel organization chart, etc?  The software gives you the tools which makes it much easier to lay out the charts on the page, but you have to create the layout yourself.

 

Here is one, it's a drawing tool, not a 'feed in data - poof' tool
