Knitting Counter — Count Rows & Stitches

A row counter for knitting and crochet projects.

Keyboard: Space = +1 · ← / ↓ = −1 · R = reset · long-press −1 / Reset for 0.5s to confirm

A row counter that never loses your place

Every knitter knows the moment: you put a project down for a week, pick it back up, and cannot remember whether that last row was counted. This knitting counter ends the guesswork. Tap the big +1 at the end of every row — or every pattern repeat, or every stitch sequence — and the counter remembers it for you, permanently, in your browser.

Because the number is saved the instant it changes, the counter survives everything a real project throws at it: the project bag, the sofa cushions, a fortnight of neglect. Come back and the display shows exactly where you stopped. If you need to rip back a row, hold −1 for half a second; starting a new project piece means holding reset — both deliberately guarded so a dropped needle cannot wipe your progress.

From phone-free corners to crochet hooks

The +1 button is sized for tired thumbs and works with any quick touch, so you can tap it with a finger still holding the working yarn. Crocheters count rows and stitches the same way, and amigurumi makers often count increase rounds — the tool does not care what the unit is, only that it counts.

Running several projects at once? Use the Multiple Counters page and name a counter after each — Sock 1, Sock 2, the sweater, the blanket. Names, values, and your sound and vibration preferences all persist locally. Export the tallies as CSV if your pattern notes live in a spreadsheet. Nothing is stored anywhere but your own device.

Made for project bags

Knitting and crochet have their own counting culture — row counters on rings, stitch markers, tallies in the pattern margin — and each of those fails the same way: it is not with you when the project comes back out. A counter that lives in the browser is with you whenever the project is, on whichever device is nearest the sofa.

The counter stays deliberately quiet about everything except the number: no project management, no yarn database, no reminders. It counts what you tap and remembers it perfectly. For pattern sections that repeat — decrease rounds, cable crossings, border edgings — the same big button does the job a mechanical row counter does, with a screen you can read mid-row.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the knitting counter work for crochet too?

Yes. It simply counts whatever you tap — rows, stitches, pattern repeats, or increase rounds. Crocheters use it exactly the same way as knitters.

Can I track multiple projects at the same time?

Yes. The Multiple Counters tool lets you keep a named counter per project, so the socks and the sweater can each carry their own row count.

What happens if I drop a stitch and need to go back a row?

Hold the −1 button for half a second to subtract one row, or hold Reset to start the piece over. The long press protects your count from accidental taps.
