After learning the knit stitch, the purl stitch and fixing a dropped stitch, the
most important technique in knitting is counting. Every part of your project comes together and makes sense if you count.
Below are tools that make counting and keeping track of your project easier. Use whichever works for you or a combination
of a few.

Clover — Knitting Register
This handy row counter slides easily onto your needle
(up to size 10 ½ U.S.) and makes it easy to keep track of rows for increasing and decreasing, as well as pattern stitches.
The wheels on either side turn snuggly so your numbers don’t accidentally change in your knitting bag. Counts up to
99 rows before you have to reset to 0.
Tip: Put row counter at the end of right side
rows and change number every other row, 1, 3, 5 and so on. You are less likely to forget to turn counter.
