About Row Counter: Knitting Tally
Row Counter keeps your place while you knit or crochet, and it looks like the piece on your needles. Every row you count is a row of stitches on the screen: the fabric hangs from a needle, the newest row sits on it lit, and a pattern repeat closes with a ridge of purl bumps, the way it does in your hands. Counting a row is one tap on the fabric. Two wooden needles click, a soft tap lands in your hand, and the screen stays on for as long as the project is open, so you never unlock the phone with yarn in your fingers. One row too many? Back one. Phone in the bag? Lock the counter. Pattern repeats are counted the way charts number them: row 11 of 12, repeat 7, and the total underneath. A repeat can count along with the rows, so one tap moves both. Row reminders put the pattern's instructions on the row they belong to. Write "increase at each end, every 4 rows from row 3" once, and when row 19 comes up it is written under the count; "place a marker at row 96" waits quietly until then. Give a piece a target and the counter shows how far along it is, your pace in rows an hour, and roughly how long is left. The last row of the target takes the piece off the needles with a short chime. Every project has its own yarn colour, notes for needle size and pattern page, and the hours it has spent on the needles. Share a progress picture of the swatch with a friend who is waiting for the sweater. No account, no internet, nothing leaves the phone, and the privacy card on the store page reads Data Not Collected for the plain reason that there is none. Free: one project with its row counter, notes, target and pace, a complete row counter. Row Counter Pro costs once, for unlimited projects, counters side by side, pattern repeats and row reminders. It never renews.
What’s new
Version 2.0 · Updated October 21, 2026
Version 2.0 is a new app on the inside and the outside. The counting screen is now a piece of knitting: every row you count is a row of stitches on the needle, and pattern repeats show as ridges on the fabric. Two wooden needles click for each row (off in Settings), and a lock keeps pocket taps from counting. New: row reminders ("increase at each end every 4 rows", "place a marker at row 96") appear under the count on the row they belong to. A target row count shows your progress, your pace and the time left. Counters can count along with the rows. Every project has a yarn colour and keeps the hours it has been on the needles. Share a progress picture. Your projects and your purchase carry over from the previous version.
