How It Works
Knitting Row Counter Technology:
Our counter uses modern browser storage and real-time tracking to provide reliable knitting progress management:
- Local Storage Persistence: Project data is saved directly to your browser using HTML5 localStorage, ensuring privacy and offline access to your knitting progress
- Real-time Updates: Row counters update instantly with visual feedback, percentage calculations, and progress indicators that respond immediately to your input
- Section Management: Advanced state management tracks different pattern sections independently while maintaining overall project continuity and organization
- Auto-save Technology: Automatic background saving triggers on every row change, protecting your progress against accidental browser closure or navigation
- Progress Calculations: Mathematical algorithms compute completion percentages, remaining rows, total stitches completed, and project statistics in real-time
- Responsive Design: Mobile-optimized interface with large touch-friendly buttons perfect for knitting environments and quick row updates while crafting
The system is designed specifically for knitters who need reliable, accurate row tracking with the flexibility to handle complex patterns, multiple sections, and long-term projects while maintaining data integrity and ease of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track different sections of my knitting pattern?
Use the Pattern Section dropdown to switch between different parts of your project like 'Main Body', 'Increases', or 'Border'. The counter maintains separate progress for each section, and you can reset individual sections without losing overall project progress. This is especially helpful for complex patterns with multiple construction phases.
What happens if I accidentally increment the wrong row count?
Click the 'Previous Row' button to decrement the counter, or manually adjust the Current Row field to the correct number. The tool saves your progress automatically, so you can always go back to fix mistakes. For major errors, use the 'Reset Section' button to start a section over while keeping your project information intact.
Can I track multiple knitting projects at the same time?
This tool focuses on tracking one active project at a time for clarity and simplicity. However, you can download your progress as a text file before starting a new project, then reload your settings when you return to the previous project. The auto-save feature ensures your current project progress is never lost.
How does the percentage completion work?
When you set a Target Rows number, the tool automatically calculates and displays your completion percentage based on your current row versus the target. This gives you a visual sense of progress through long projects. The percentage updates in real-time as you increment rows, helping you stay motivated through large projects.
Is my knitting progress saved if I close my browser?
Yes! When 'Auto-save progress' is enabled (default), your project details, current row, and settings are automatically saved to your browser's local storage. Your progress persists between sessions, so you can close the browser and return later to continue exactly where you left off. The data stays on your device for privacy.
