Free Crochet Row Counter
Track every row with one thumb tap — progress saves itself, and your chart shows exactly where you are.
Row 1 of 90
0 done · 90 to go · 0%
Progress saves automatically in your browser — close the tab and pick up where you left off. 🔒
Every crocheter knows the moment: you put the blanket down to answer the door, come back, and — was that row 43 or row 44? A throw blanket is tens of thousands of stitches worked over weeks or months, and a scrap of paper or a clicker that resets in your project bag is one bad evening away from a miscounted section and a visible jog in the fabric.
This counter lives in the browser tab next to your pattern. Set the total rows once, tap the big +1 button as you finish each row, and your progress is saved automatically — close the tab, put the project down for a month, and it picks up exactly where you left off. Working from a chart? Turn on chart mode and completed rows are shaded from the bottom up, the way you actually crochet, with a highlight line on the row you're working.
What you get
Thumb-friendly big buttons
+1 and −1 buttons sized for real hands mid-stitch — no aiming at tiny controls while holding a hook.
Progress that saves itself
Current row and project total persist in your browser automatically. Refresh, close the tab, come back next week — nothing is lost.
Progress bar and remaining rows
See the percent complete and exactly how many rows stand between you and the border.
Chart row highlighting
Pick a chart from the pattern library or upload your own PNG — finished rows are shaded from the bottom up with a line marking the row you're on.
Works for C2C and graphgans
A 'row' is whatever your pattern repeats — rows, rounds, or C2C block rows all count the same way.
Free, no account, fully offline
Everything runs in your browser. No sign-up, no upload, no server — your project data never leaves your device.
How to use the row counter
Set your total rows
Enter how many rows the project (or this section of it) has — 1 to 999. You can change it later without losing your place.
Tap +1 as you finish each row
One tap per completed row. Fat-fingered the button? −1 backs you up. The progress bar and remaining count update instantly.
Close the tab whenever you like
Your progress is saved in the browser after every tap. Reopen the page tomorrow or next month and continue from the same row.

| Motivation | Progress bar, percent done, and rows remaining at a glance | A column of tally marks that all look the same |
| Working from a chart | Completed rows shaded on the chart itself, current row highlighted | A ruler or sticky note that slides out of place |
Frequently asked questions
Where is my row count saved?
In your own browser's local storage, on your device. Nothing is uploaded or sent to a server — which also means progress doesn't sync between devices, and clearing your browser data resets the counter.
Does this work for C2C or graphgan projects?
Yes. Set the total to the number of block rows in your C2C chart (or grid rows in a graphgan) and tap once per completed block row — a row is whatever your pattern repeats. Chart mode shades completed rows from the bottom up, which matches how these blankets are worked.
Can I count rounds for amigurumi too?
Absolutely — rounds are just rows in a spiral. Set the total to the rounds in the piece (or the current section), and use the same +1 tap per round. Many crocheters keep this page open next to the pattern checker and abbreviations decoder.
Can I track more than one project at a time?
Not yet — the counter keeps one project's progress to stay simple. Reset it (with confirmation) when you move to a new project. Multi-project support may come later.
Is this crochet row counter free?
Yes — free and unlimited, with no account. It runs entirely in your browser, so it also keeps working if your connection drops mid-row.
