Multi-Section Stitch Counter for Complex Repeats & Shaping

While row counters track vertical progress, our multi-section stitch counter is designed for intricate horizontal repeats, sleeve increases, lace pattern multiples, and amigurumi stitch counts. Manage multiple active sections simultaneously without mixing up counts.

When to Use a Multi-Section Stitch Counter

• Sweater Raglan Yokes: Track front panel, back panel, and left/right sleeve increases at the same time.
• Lace & Cable Repeats: Keep track of 8-stitch or 12-stitch motif repetitions across a wide shawl.
• Amigurumi Shaping Rounds: Count individual single crochets between increase stitches (e.g., *sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st*).

Step-by-Step Usage Guide

1. Create custom section labels (e.g., "Right Front", "Raglan Increase", "Border Stitches").
2. Tap +1 on the specific section as you complete each stitch or pattern multiple.
3. Use the section reset button when starting a fresh pattern repeat cycle.

Pattern Repeat Calculations Example

If your blanket border requires a multiple of 6 stitches + 2 for corners, use the stitch counter to track your edge pick-ups. If you have 146 side stitches, 146 - 2 = 144, and 144 ÷ 6 = 24 full pattern repeats. Check out our Border Calculator for automated edge calculations.
