Quick answer

Crochet Row Counter is a free online counter that runs in your web browser. Open the page, then tap the screen or press the space bar once for each item to keep a running total while granny square rounds. The number is saved on your device, so it survives a reload or a closed tab, and it works with no internet connection once the page has loaded.

Definition: Crochet Row Counter
A crochet row counter is a counting tool for granny square rounds, amigurumi stitch counting and chain and double crochet tracking. You tap once per item and the tool keeps the total, so you do not have to hold the number in your head.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the crochet row counter cost?

It is free. There is no paid tier and no account, so you can count crochet rows and stitches as often as you need. The count itself is kept in your own browser rather than on our servers, so granny square rounds stays private to your device.

Does the crochet row counter work offline?

Yes. Install it once from your browser menu ("Add to Home Screen" on iOS, "Install app" on Chrome) and it keeps working with no signal — useful when you are amigurumi stitch counting somewhere with poor reception.

Will I lose my crochet rows and stitches count if the tab closes?

No. Every tap is saved to your device straight away, so locking your phone mid-session or reopening the browser later leaves the crochet rows and stitches total exactly where you left it. It changes only when you change it or reset it.

Can I set a target for crochet rows and stitches?

Yes. Set a maximum in settings and the counter signals when you hit it — handy for fixed goals such as colour change row counting.

Benefits of using the Crochet Row Counter

What you actually get compared with a mechanical clicker, a notes app, or trying to hold the number in your head.

Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for

Open the crochet row counter and start counting in the same second. No account, no email, no trial.

Your count survives real life

Totals are saved on your device as you go, so a locked screen, a closed tab, or a lost signal does not reset anything.

Works offline once loaded

Install it to your home screen and it keeps working in a warehouse, a pool hall, a field, or a plane — no connection needed.

Private by default

Counts stay in your browser. There is no cloud sync, no profile, and nothing about what you count is sent to us.

Share your setup

We publish only real, attributed feedback here — so this space is intentionally empty until we have your words to put in it. Tell us what you use the crochet row counter for and we will add your story, with your name, to this page.
