How Multiple Crochet Counters Work
Multiple Crochet Counters work in 4 steps.
- 1
Name each part
List each counter in the notes box, for example "Back: 0 / Left Sleeve: 0 / Right Sleeve: 0".
- 2
Count the active part
Set the target to the active part's row total and count rows with Space or + Count.
- 3
Save the number when you switch
Copy the display number next to the part name in your notes before moving to another part.
- 4
Resume any part
Enter the saved number for the next part by tapping up to it, or reset and continue. Notes save in your browser.
Multiple Crochet Counters Formula
The Multiple Crochet Counters formula adds the progress of each part into project progress.
Project rows done = Σ Rows done in each part
Project progress (%) = Project rows done ÷ Σ Target rows of each part × 100
- Σ
- The sum across all counters
- Rows done in each part
- The value saved for each named counter
- Target rows of each part
- The pattern total for each part
Worked example: Back 90 of 90 rows, Left Sleeve 40 of 70, Right Sleeve 10 of 70. Project rows done = 90 + 40 + 10 = 140. Progress = 140 ÷ 230 × 100 = 60.9%.

What are Multiple Crochet Counters?
Multiple crochet counters are several named counters running on one screen for one project. Crochet Stitch Counter Multiple Crochet Counters let you keep a separate number for each sleeve, the body, a collar or a border without one count overwriting another.
Garments and large projects split into parts. A cardigan has a back, 2 fronts, 2 sleeves and a band. Each part has its own row total, and switching between parts with a single counter erases your place.
Named counters solve the problem by giving each part its own tally. The page keeps one active counter and a notes box where you record the other counts by name.
