Ok I did it with some trick ;) First made a UITextField and increased it's size like this:

var frameRect: CGRect = textField.frame
frameRect.size.height = 53
textField.frame = frameRect

Then I made a UITextView exactly in the same area that I made my UITextField, and deleted its background colour. Now it looks like that I have a multiple lines TextField!

Unfortunately, UITextField is specifically one-line only. You will need to use a UITextView instead of UITextField for displaying and editing multiline text; it will be multiline by default.

You can add UIImageView with needed image behind your UITextView. And set clearColor for text view. – EugeneK Nov 20 '12 at 15:58

You could use UITextView instead, which is a "mini-notepad" view.
