More Uninterrupted Knitting Time

No need to take your hands off your needles to pick up a pen, click a clicker, or unlock your phone for the 400th time.

Just Knit

More Confidence In Your Skills

Know exactly where you are in your pattern whether it's been 5 minutes since you picked up your needles...

Or 5 years

More Finished Projects

Spend less time re-counting and frogging and more time actually knitting.

Gain the motivation to actually FINISH that second sleeve and finally get to wear your beautiful creation.

How It Works

1

Replace any regular stitch marker with your row counter and knit

2

When you come back to the row counter move it to the next number in the chain as you pass it from needle to needle

3

Once you have completed the chain (or completed a pattern repeat), move the melody clip to the next number to mark 10 rows completed (or 1 pattern repeat completed)

4

Keep On Knitting!

The Perfect Side Kick So You Can Just Knit

  • No stopping to pick up a pen and make a hash mark
  • No forgetting to click the clicker

Hands Free Counting

No need to take your hands off your needles to click a clicker or make a tally. Just use your needle tip to move the chain to the next number and keep on knitting!

Never Forget Again

Because our row counters act as a stitch marker, they must physically be moved from needle to needle each round.
This means it's impossible to forget to mark that row!

Always Reliable

No more accidential bumps or misplaced clickers.
Our counters will keep the correct count securely on your needles every time.
Even if your project hibernates in your bag for 6 months.

You CAN'T Forget

I fell in love with the concept long before I ordered. I was never consistent with any method of counting. This is IN the row. You can't forget. I ordered one finally and love it. Thank you for great craftsmanship and a great concept!

Major Improvement Over Click Counters

Just found these, have to say, they work great! I keep up with my rows, it is like an abacus for knitting. I have not tried this with my crochet yet. Major improvement over click counters.

I Was Forever Forgetting To Click My Standard Counter

I LOVE this cute row counter! I am forever forgetting to click my standard row counters so this solution is brilliant! So easy to use and well made. I was a little worried about yarn snags but it has not been an issue at all! The wire loops and joins are perfectly smooth!

Jennifer Lathrop

Easier Than Using An App On My Phone

I LOVE this row counter. When it arrived, I put it on a current project—a hat using fingering-weight yearn. I have found it far easier to keep track of my rows than using an app on my phone (which either drains the battery or required me to unlock my phone each row) or the heavy Clover-twist counter (I may or may not sometimes forget to increase rows as I finish them with the Clover counter). As I finish up a row, I just slip to the next number. So far, no forgetting to increase rows. And unlike any other markers I use with lightweight yarn, there are no not-quite-closed joins for fine yarn to slip into. It's taking me a little while to get used to using this format for row tracking but I LOVE it.

Replaced My Pen & Paper Notes

I ordered these rows counters and am so glad I did! I wasn't sure if I could really replace my pen and paper notes to help me remember where I am but these markers do just that. I use them all the time and I love how thin they are. What a great system to keep me organized. I now order all of my markers from Twice Sheared Sheep. They are cute, pretty and most of all very useful!! Bit by bit I'm replacing all the many markers I have with Twice Sheared Sheep markers. You can feel the joy and love that goes into each product!!!

Now I Never Get Lost

I bought this recently and I love it. I was always forgetting to make a hash mark when I completed a round in my pattern. Now, I never get lost. The little hedgehog is adorable. I like it so much a just ordered another one, because, of course, I have another pattern I need to start before Christmas that needs rows counted.

Lorna Bisson

No More Unknitting & Starting Over

Newish to knitting so really didn't know what a stitch or row counter was. But a couple years ago I bought yarn in Iceland so wanted to finally make something. The pattern was more complicated than I was used to and I kept having to unknit and start over. Then I saw the ad to the Twice Sheared Sheep Row Counter and I knew it was for me. Love, love, love it! I was quickly able to get on with...and finish my project. Easy to use. I highly recommend Twice Sheared Sheep Row Counter. Plus the cute little charms and crystals on the end make it all the more special.

Much More Reliable Than My Memory

This little guy is the cutest!! I am addicted to these row counters. I find them much more reliable than my memory to click the clicker! I recommend trying one and you'll love it too!

Joan Phelps

I Can Just Knit And Not Try To Remember Which Row I'm On

I put mine to use right away as I am knitting a pair of socks with a 10 row rib 2x2 the knit 2 rows and start all over but offset. I had a terrible time counting 10 rows even when I would mark each row on paper. With this row marker I can just knit and not try to remember which row I am on. At my age memory is not always reliable.

Paige Ward

It's So Easy To Pick Up Where I Left Off

I absolutely love this chain row counter! If I have to walk away from my knitting, when I come back to it a quick look at the counter tells me exactly where I am. I added a stitch marker on a melody clip to show that I'm working on section 3 of the pattern, the empty melody clip on the 1 to show that I've completed one repeat of that section and on the needles is the 2 to show that I'm on row 2. It's so easy to pick up where you leave off. And the little silver fox is adorable.

The Only Row Counter That I Can't Forget To Increase

These are the best way to keep track of knitting rows. I used one of mine to keep track of a complicated lace blanket. It is the only row counter that I cannot forget to increase. I want one for every project!

Ivy Spray

Better Than Sliced Bread

I wasn’t sure if this tool would work for me, but it is better than sliced bread! I love it! I am planning to start another project and need size 11 needles so l just ordered a XL Hedgehog!! Can’t wait for this to come!

Shirley Swoope

It's A No Brainer!

These row counters are not only a fabulous way of counting rows with little to no thinking, but they're beautifully made. My mind goes in too many directions to every be successful with the regular row counters, but there knitting up to the marker and moving it is a no brainer. THANK YOU!

Nice but some drawbacks

I love the circular counter, but my two complaints are that the little rings get bent very easily, especially when moving the marker and the little teapot or whatever little embellishment you choose really just seems to get in the way so I ended up taking that part off otherwise it’s super useful!

Oh no, Amy! I'm so sorry!
Thanks so much for the picture! The poor thing 😔
It definitely looks like you've received a defective Row Counter, and I just feel terrible about that!

Not to worry! I've always got your back!
I always want you to be happy and comfortable with your purchases!
I'm happy to send you a replacement.
Would that be something you'd be interested in?

Thanks so much for your help! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you!

Loved it so much I immediately ordered more

I started using the row counter on a sweater I'm working on and felt a huge sense of relief as I put aside my old counter, which required me to remember to do something after completing a row (a small task I sometimes ignored...), and just knit. No real thinking involved, just slipping my needle into the next circle available as I come back around to the row counter. I ordered more in different sizes because I want to switch all my beginning-of-row markers with these!

Row counter

One, I want to say working with Twice Sheared Sheep has been a wonderful experience. Wonderful customer service, which is a last art these days! I've been putting off buying a row counter. But when I saw the cute pink dragonfly one, I had to buy a couple. My dearest friend passed away and she loved dragonflies and pink was her favorite color. She also had a dragonfly tattoo. So now I have one too a dragonfly tattoo, as several of her family and friends do. But each time I knit and use my counter I will smile and maybe have a few tears, depending on the day... When I use my pink dragonfly stitch counter!! Love it

It took me a while to get used to using the row counter with straight needles. I like the convenience, the light weight and the fun design.

My sister loved it!

These counters were exactly what I was looking for after seeing my sister using a scrap of paper to keep track of her rows. And the customer service was excellent, as I was asking questions before I even received the package. Well done!

Help For A Fuzzy Brain

I've knitted and crocheted for many years, after growing up with a mother who always had something going in her project basket. I used to pride myself on being great at keeping track, whichever method of row-counting I used. I also have a neat app on tablet/phone that has been a huge help with more intricate patterns. No problem.

Till about five years ago ... when Lyme Disease struck.

Suddenly, the frustration of forgetting to click the app, losing track, having trouble even seeing the work, sometimes had me on the verge of tears. Then, a friend suggested chain row counters.

"Just a gimmick," I said.

"Give it a try," friend said.

"What do I have to lose?" I finally agreed.

Well, guess what? Old fuzz-brain no longer forgets to click the app counter, hasn't lost track of what row she's on since trying the chains, and has even figured out to use cute little lobster-claw charms to add a "hundreds" place counter so she can keep going indefinitely.

I've even done a few projects with just the chain counter, not having to boot up my app at all.

These little "gimmicks" are a godsend.

I have a few of them, from various manufacturers, but then needed something for a bulky project. None of the chains I had here would fit the chubby needles. The Twice Sheared Sheep XL chain fits perfectly. It looks like it's very well-made, no snaggy edges, and nice strong links.

The same excellent quality I've found in other Twice Sheared Sheep products I've tried.

I'm eager to cast on and get back to work, with a new toy to play with.

(Plus, I just had to have the coffee-cup charm on the end. In honor of my mom, my best friend and mentor, who got me started knitting, crocheting ... and drinking coffee ... in the first place. Miss you, Mom! This stitch is for you!)

Best counter ever!

This works so well with minimal hand movement from my needles! It slides perfectly and doesn’t get in the way of my work. I purchased one of each size and will definitely add more for times when I have multiple projects going.

I have the circle one. So happy I snagged the straight one. The quality is exceptional. It’s not too light , nor too heavy. It doesn’t snag or catch on my project either.

Beautiful little jewel for counting rows

This beautiful piece of work is easy to use, as well as fun. I love the little decoration at the end of it. It's simple to use. All you do is slip it on the needles at any place between stitches. Then when you reach that place, you pick up the next loop and drop the previous, and voilà, you've just counted another row. It eliminates the need to remember to mark a row, and you don't have to stop knitting to mark the row. It's all done for you. Love it!!
