How to use the stitch counter
Use the plus and minus buttons to count stitches and rows. Your values are automatically saved in your browser, so you can safely close the page and come back later without losing your count.
Tips for accurate counting
- Count continuously: Press the plus button after each stitch or row instead of relying on memory until the end of the row – it's easy to lose track.
- Combine with stitch markers: Use the stitch counter along with stitch markers to keep track of pattern repeats.
- Reset for new sections: Press "Reset" when you start a new project or a new part of the garment, e.g., when transitioning from the body to the sleeves.
Stitch counter or row counter?
The stitch counter is best suited for quick, ongoing counting of stitches and rows. If you are knitting a more complex pattern with several rules per row – for example, when you need to increase, decrease, or change patterns – the row counter with an integrated checklist and reminders might be a better fit.

How does the stitch counter work?
Click the plus and minus buttons to count stitches and rows as you knit. The values are updated instantly and saved automatically in your browser, without you having to do anything.
Will I lose my count if I close the browser or lose internet connection?
No. The count is saved locally in your browser (localStorage), not in a cloud service, so it works completely without internet and won't disappear if you close the tab. Note that the count is only stored on this specific device/browser, and does not sync automatically across other devices.
Can I print or save the count as a PDF?
Yes. Click the "Save as PDF" button to open the print dialog, and select "Save as PDF" in your device's printer settings.
Why should I count rows in addition to stitches?
Row counting gives you an overview of how far you have come in the pattern, and is especially useful for keeping track of the distance between increases/decreases, stripe patterns, or length measurements specified in number of rows.
Should I use the stitch counter or the row counter?
The stitch counter is a simple manual +/− counter suitable for quick, ongoing counting. If you are knitting a more complex pattern with multiple instructions per row, the row counter with a checklist and reminders might be a better fit.
