Which way of counting suits what
| Method | Good for | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| This online counter | Keeping rounds and stitches for several parts on your phone | Needs a hand free to tap |
| Stitch marker | Showing where a spiral round starts | Marks the place; it doesn't hold the number |
| Pencil on the pattern | Crossing off rounds as you finish them | Hard to count stitches inside a round |
| Clicker on the hook or finger | Counting without looking at a screen | Usually one number at a time |
A counter does not replace a stitch marker. In a spiral, the marker shows where each round starts; the counter remembers how far you have got.
Why count each part separately
An amigurumi is made of many small pieces, and you often put one down to work another. If a head is on round 11 and an arm on round 6, one shared number is no use. Separate counts mean you can pick up any part again and know where you were.
Frequently asked questions
Is this crochet counter free?
Yes. It is free, with no app to install and no sign-up.
Will my count be saved if I close the page?
Yes, on the same browser and device. The numbers are stored only in your browser. Clearing your browser data removes them, and they do not move to another device.
Can I use it for knitting too?
Yes. It only counts, so it works for knitting rows and stitches as well.
Should I count stitches or just rounds?
Count rounds all the time, and count stitches at the end of each round to compare with the number in brackets. Count stitch by stitch on rounds with increases or decreases, where it is easy to lose your place.
How do I count amigurumi rounds if I lost my place?
Count the rings of stitches from the centre outwards. See how to count stitches and rows.
