Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the knitting stitch counter cost?
It is free. There is no paid tier and no account, so you can count stitches and rows as often as you need. The count itself is kept in your own browser rather than on our servers, so stitch counting in flat knitting stays private to your device.
Does the knitting stitch 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 round counting on circular needles somewhere with poor reception.
Will I lose my stitches and rows 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 stitches and rows total exactly where you left it. It changes only when you change it or reset it.
Can I set a target for stitches and rows?
Yes. Set a maximum in settings and the counter signals when you hit it — handy for fixed goals such as cast-on and bind-off counting.

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.
