Knitting row counter
& shaping planner

The first row you enter is included. Starting on row 5, every 2 rows, 3 total occurrences means rows 5, 7 and 9. But “work this row, then repeat 3 more times” means 4 total occurrences: rows 5, 7, 9 and 11.

Add each instruction separately. If two fall on the same row, you’ll see both. Changes add together: a decrease of 1 at each edge and a separate decrease of 1 in total remove 3 stitches.

Counts are shown after each row. Reminders don’t change the count. Cast-ons, bind-offs and knitting in the round aren’t covered.

Your current plan and row progress are saved in this browser when storage is available. Use Save a copy to download a project file, then Open project to pick it up on another device. Clearing browser data can remove your local project.

Give each instruction its own entry, using the same section row numbering. For example, an armhole decrease starting on row 5 every 2 rows and a neckline decrease starting on row 13 every 2 rows will both appear on row 13. “1 at each edge” removes 2 stitches; “1 in total” removes 1. Use separate entries if a pattern changes from every 4 rows to every 2 rows.

Use Undo a row or set the number of rows already knitted in Knit mode. Renaming a project, editing a note or changing an expected final count keeps progress when you apply it. Changing row timing, sides or stitch changes asks before resetting progress. Keep a downloaded copy before making major changes.
