Quick Answer

A row counter keeps track of which row you are on while you knit or crochet. Tally Counter App's row counter is free and runs in any phone or computer browser: tap the big button after each finished row to add one, and use undo if you tapped by mistake. Add a second labeled counter for stitches within a row or for the repeat of a lace or cable pattern, so the row count and the repeat count never get mixed up. Counts are saved in your browser on that device between sessions and everything works offline. There is no account and no install, which makes it a quick replacement for a clip-on or ring row counter.

Use Cases

Counting rows in a flat piece

Tap after each row of a scarf, blanket or swatch. When the pattern says 'work until piece measures 40 rows', you can see exactly where you are.

Tracking a pattern repeat

Use one counter for total rows and a second labeled counter for the repeat, for example rows 1 to 8 of a lace chart. Reset only the repeat counter when it wraps.

Counting stitches in a row

Count cast-on stitches, or stitches between markers, without losing count when someone interrupts you.

Increases and decreases

Keep a counter for how many shaping rows you have worked, so a sleeve or sock gusset comes out symmetrical.

Crochet rounds

Tap once per round for amigurumi and circular work, with a second counter for stitches in the round.

Several projects at once

Label each counter with a project name. Each keeps its own total, so you can pick up the scarf or the socks and know where each stands.

Row counter or stitch counter: what to count

Knitters and crocheters usually need two numbers, not one: the row (or round) you are on, and your position within a repeating section. A single counter forces you to do arithmetic in your head. Two labeled counters, one for rows and one for the repeat, remove that step and are the main reason to use a digital counter over a basic click-on-needle one.

Stitch counts are a separate job. Count stitches when you cast on and after shaping rows, not on every row. A counter you can reset quickly is more useful for that than one that only goes up.

Not losing your place

Tap at the same point every time, for instance right after you turn your work. That makes the number mean 'rows finished' and avoids off-by-one mistakes when you resume.

Because counts live in your browser on one device, treat the counter as your working copy. When you finish a session, jot the row in your pattern notes. If you clear your browser data or switch phones, the pattern margin is your backup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use an online row counter for knitting?

Open the page on your phone or tablet and tap the button each time you finish a row. The number shown is the row you have completed. If you tap by accident, press undo.

Can I count a pattern repeat and total rows separately?

Yes. Add a second counter and label it, for example 'repeat'. Use the first for total rows and the second for position inside the repeat, resetting only the second one when it wraps.

Will it remember my row if I close the page?

Counts are saved in your browser's local storage on that device, so closing the tab or locking your phone keeps the number. They do not sync between devices, and clearing browser data will remove them, so note the row in your pattern margin too.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After the page has loaded once, the counter keeps working without a connection.

Is it good for crochet too?

Yes. Use it for rows or rounds, and a second counter for stitches in the current row or round.

Is it a replacement for a physical row counter?

For most projects, yes: it does the same tap-to-add job and adds undo and multiple labeled counters. A clip-on or ring counter is still more convenient if you do not want to touch a screen with yarn on your fingers.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no account, no payment and no limit on the number of rows.
