Knitting Row Counter
Built by Johnny Alto · free, no sign-up · updated July 26, 2026
A free online row counter for knitting and crochet. Tap to count each row, set a repeat length so it highlights when you reach the end of a pattern repeat, and run more than one counter at once for the body, sleeves, or a stitch pattern. It saves automatically in your browser, so you can put your project down and pick up right where you left off.
Tap the big number to count a row. Set "repeat every" to your pattern repeat and the counter flags each time you complete one. Everything saves automatically in this browser.
Never lose your place in a pattern
Anyone who knits or crochets knows the sinking feeling of losing count mid-project. A row counter fixes that: you tap once at the end of every row, and the number is always right there. This one goes a step further with a repeat setting. Enter the length of your pattern repeat, say eight rows for a lace or cable panel, and the counter tells you which row of the repeat you are on and flags the moment you complete one, so you always know when to start the next repeat.
Because it saves automatically in your browser, you can set a project down for a week and come back to the exact count. You can also keep several counters going at once, which is how most knitters actually work: one for the overall row count, one for a stitch-pattern repeat, and maybe one for shaping, like an increase or decrease every so many rows.
Knitting, crochet, and beyond
The same counter works for crochet rows and rounds, for tracking increases and decreases, and for any project where you need to repeat a step a set number of times. Rename each counter so you remember what it tracks, use the minus button to fix a miscount, and reset to zero when you start a new piece.
Frequently asked questions
How does the knitting row counter work?
Tap the large number at the end of each row to add one, and the minus button to correct a miscount. Add a counter for each thing you are tracking, such as total rows and a pattern repeat.
What does the repeat setting do?
Enter the length of your pattern repeat and the counter shows which row of the repeat you are on and highlights when you complete one, so you know exactly when to begin the next repeat.
Does it save my count if I close the page?
Yes. Counts and repeat settings save automatically in your browser, so you can put a project down and return to the same numbers later. Clearing browser data resets them.
Does it work for crochet too?
Yes. It counts crochet rows and rounds just as well, and is handy for tracking increases, decreases, and any step you repeat a set number of times.
