About the Crochet Counter
Crochet has a specific counting problem that knitting does not: the stitches are less visually distinct on the hook side, so recounting a row is genuinely slow. That makes an accurate running count more valuable, not less. One counter for stitches in the current row and one for rows completed covers granny squares, amigurumi and blankets alike, and both persist through being put down for a week..

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this crochet stitch counter really free?
Yes — 100% free, no signup, no limits. Count as many stitches and rows as you want, on any device.
Can I use it for both stitches and rows?
Absolutely. Create one counter for stitches in the current row and a second counter for total rows — switch between them with a tap.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Install SimpleCounter as a PWA on your phone or tablet and the crochet counter works completely offline — perfect for travel or anywhere without Wi-Fi.
Can I set a stitch or row goal?
Yes — set a max limit (e.g. 120 stitches per row, or 50 rows for a scarf) and the counter will alert you when you reach your target.
Will I lose my count if I close the browser?
No. Your count is saved automatically in your browser. Even if you close the tab, restart your phone, or come back next week, your stitch count is exactly where you left it.
Does it work for knitting too?
Yes — it works for any stitch-based craft including knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, and embroidery. Same one-tap counting.
