Row counter for knitting and crochet
Worsted.
Count each finished row, undo a slip and pick the project up where you left it.
The row you are on,
every time you pick it up.
What it is
Worsted is a row counter for knitters and crocheters. It opens straight onto the number that matters: the row you are on.
The counter is drawn as the paper band around a ball of yarn. Choose the yarn shade for your project and the fabric, the band and its ink change to match.
What it does
- Counting
- A large number you can tap with one thumb. Undo takes back a mistaken tap.
- Totals, repeats
- Set the total rows for a piece, and a reminder for an instruction that repeats, such as an increase every sixth row.
- Saving
- The count is stored on the phone and is still there when you come back.
- Your label
- Name the project and choose its yarn shade. Sound and keeping the screen awake are optional.
Try it
A sample sleeve at row 47, with an increase every sixth row. Tap the number to count a row. Nothing here is saved.
