How Crochet Stitch Counter Works
Four simple steps take you from first chain to finished project without losing count.
Set up your project
Name your project and enter how many stitches each row has and how many rows you plan to work. The progress bar calculates your total stitch goal automatically.
Count as you crochet
Tap the large counter button or press the Space bar after each stitch. Quick buttons add 5 or 10 stitches at once, and −1 undoes a miscount.
Complete each row
When a row is finished, press Row Complete. The row is saved with its stitch count, yarn color and stitch type, and the live swatch grows one row taller.
Mark, repeat and take notes
Pin stitch markers on important stitches, count motif repeats separately and keep pattern notes next to the counter. Everything is saved automatically.

Why Use a Digital Crochet Row Counter?
Paper tallies and clicker counters are easy to lose or bump, and they only remember a single number. Crochet Stitch Counter keeps your stitch count, row count, repeat count, markers and notes together, so you can put your work down and pick it up later exactly where you stopped.
The live fabric preview shows worked and pending stitches row by row, which makes it easy to spot a short row before it turns into a crooked blanket edge. It works for amigurumi rounds, granny squares, blankets, garments and any pattern that needs counting.
