Knitting Stitch Counter

How to Use the Knitting Stitch Counter

Add one counter for each section you need to track — rows in the body, repeats in a cable pattern, or stitches in a specific section. Tap the + button to count up and − to correct a mistake. Set a target row count to see your progress bar fill as you knit.

All counters are saved automatically to your browser. You can close the tab, come back later, and your counts will be exactly where you left them — no account needed. Use the reset button on each counter to start a new section without losing your other counters.

Tips for Using Row Counters Effectively

Professional knitters and crocheters use one counter per pattern element rather than one counter for everything. For example, on a sweater you might track: total rows (main counter), cable repeat rows (cable counter), and sleeve shaping rows (sleeve counter) separately. This prevents confusion when pattern instructions say "work cable every 8th row" while the main row count is much higher.

Name each counter clearly so you remember what it tracks. Use the target field to set the row count from your pattern — the progress bar shows how close you are to completing each section.

Pattern Repeat Tracking

For lace or cable patterns, use a counter per repeat. When you complete one full repeat, tap the counter once. At a glance you can see how many repeats you have completed versus your target. This is more reliable than marking a paper chart, especially for complex patterns worked over 12–24 rows per repeat.
