Here are some ways to count rows when you are knitting or crocheting your next pattern! Be sure to not lose your mind-or your eyesight with crazy row counting during your fun.
1. Use a row counter at the end of each row. These little counters can be used on one or both needles in knitting, and near you specifically in a crochet pattern. If you use a counter in knitting or crochet, be sure to count two, and then turn the counter. This is because the odd numbers are on one needle, and the other is the even rows. Example: 1,3,5 on odd; 2,4,6 on even.
2. Make a copy of your pattern, my favorite method! Then when you complete your steps, just cross them off. If you want to refer back to your pattern use a highlighter and you will know where you are.
3. Use stitch counter rings, paper clips or other metal twisty ties! Then, when you get to the end of the body area, you can know where the start and stop is. This can be really helpful when you are creating some complex patterns that have to join together.
