If you're like me and frequently lose track of your stitches when you're crocheting or knitting, this Susan Bates Digital Row Counter is a handy little gadget to have. And it certainly is an improvement on those little manual plastic doohickeys. It seems like it would be awkward, but it's small (approximately 1.25"H x 1"W x 3/8"T) and lightweight. It has an adjustable plastic band that stays put on your finger. I have smallish fingers and had to use the smallest/tightest position. It doesn't get in the way as I crochet once I got used to it. There's a larger button for counting that you can use your thumb on while you crochet--if you can use it on your index finger--and a smaller reset button. It's a battery-operated digital readout, but it doesn't appear to have any instructions to change a battery when it runs down. There are tiny set screws holding it together, but I'm not disassembling it at this time. The display does turn off after several (maybe 10?) minutes of non-use. It looks like you can count up to 99999 if you buy this for some other counting use. The current price is $7.51 for a single counter, so there are better values out there if you can find a generic version(s).

I purchased the Susan Bates - Digital Row Counter for my daughter that loves to crochet. It has a soft silicone like band that wraps around your finger. The top of the counter has an LCD screen. There are two buttons, a large one for the count and a smaller one to reset the counter. When you finish a row you press the counter button, and it will mark the row. It will hold the count so if you have to take a break, when you return you will know where you left off. This is a neat little tool to have that will save time and is comfortable to wear. I like that it is compact and easy to use. A must have product for anyone that crochets.

This bright pink row/stitch counter works great. It fits around your finger like a watch and has snaps to keep it secure. The buttons are easy to press and are positioned conveniently. One button increases your count while the other resets it.I’m pretty new to using row/stitch counters. Normally, I either rely on an app or count manually, but I thought this might save me some time. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it. It gets sweaty under the ring when it’s hot and can get in the way while crocheting. I would pass on buying it.

This counter is so cute. So far I have only been playing with it as I'm not working on any projects right now. The plastic band can be adjusted to whatever size you need. Two buttons on it, the large button to turn on the display and also to add a count, and then a small button to reset. When you leave it sit for a day or whatever and it goes to sleep, it will remember the number when you "wake it up" by pressing the large button one time (just once so you don't add a row). I have a knitting machine. It's an old manual one, that is what I wanted this for. Great stocking stuffer idea for anyone who crochets or knits.

As a newish knitter, I’m not at the point where I really need this counter yet. But it looks so cool, I wanted to give it a try.Here’s what I like about it:It came as a surprise three pack. I thought I was just getting one, but now I have extras. It is very easy to use. There’s a big button you press every time you need to count. There is a little button to reset the counter. There is a little watch-like band to go around your finger. That’s it.Here are the things I’m not so crazy about:It doesn’t have any information about the batteries. I can’t even see how I would change them. Maybe the counters are disposable instead of replacing the batteries?? I don’t know.The counter is going to slow down your work. If you’re just counting every row, it probably isn’t going to be too bad. I was doing it as a test with stitches, and it was slow going. I think that’s going to happen with any counter.Finally, the back of the packaging has a warning about cancer or reproductive harm. (See the photo.) But it doesn’t say what kind of threat or how serious it is.Despite the threat of cancer, I can see how helpful this counter will be if I ever progress enough in my knitting that I start using complicated patterns.

Maybe it's dramatic, but if you easily lose count of your rows, or even your stitches, this little tool that wraps around your finger is fabulous. It has two buttons, one to add 1 to your count (big button) and one to reset to zero (tiny button). That's it. At the end of each row, push the big button and your count is on. I like to use it for stitches, number of items such as flowers or leaves, or even clusters as I complete groupings of foundation chains. For someone like me that can lose count after 5 consecutive stitches, this is amazing.

I wasn't aware there were three in a pack. or even if that was a mix-up, but I did get three, all different colors. So I loaned two to friends who knit like myself.I must admit, when I saw the item, and saw they wanted me to put it on my index finger, I wasn't sure it was going to work. But it did fit comfortably, was not too heavy at all, and didn't interfere with my knitting. So once I got used to the feeling of its presence, I started knitting to test it out.The button is easy to push, and take it from someone who has had to physically mark rows on a paper after each row, this was SO much easier. I was scared I was accidentally going to erase it, but the delete button is tiny, and you really have to aim for it. Will I use it for a real project. Yes, without hesitation.My two friends also liked it, once they got used to it. My one friend is not so concerned with rows as with messing up the number of stitches. What she did was test it on a length of 30 stitches, and mentally counted ten stitches as she knitted, and then hit the button. When she finished a row, she deleted. But she told me it was very nice to look down, and see a "3" on the face, which meant every stitch was accounted for. She is definitely going to use it on a project she just began.
