# How do I count rows while knitting or crocheting?

> In Row & Round, press the big +1 each time you finish a row or round. The number goes up, the highlighter bar steps to the next row in the same moment, and your place is saved with every tap.

## How it works

The count is the row you're on, and a new project starts at row 1. The big number and the round +1 stay put on screen, with Undo and Counters as small buttons beside them. Each +1 gives a soft buzz, handy for counting by feel, and you can add a click sound or have the number spoken. Hold the number to type one in when you join a pattern halfway. Flat knitting counts rows, work in the round and crochet count rounds, and nothing is reset unless you say so.

## When you’d reach for it

- Keeping track of rows up a sweater body or down a sleeve
- Counting rounds on a hat, a sock or an amigurumi
- Holding your place when you only get ten minutes with the needles

## Good to know

### What happens if I tap +1 by accident?

Tap Undo. The number and the bar both step back.

### Can I count without a pattern file?

Yes. A counters-only project gives you counters and notes with no pattern attached.

### Does it count rows or rounds?

Whichever the project needs. Flat knitting counts rows; knitting in the round and crochet count rounds.
