Track rounds and repeats

Use different markers for the round start and repeat boundaries. Move the start marker consistently and record only completed rounds.

Before you start

Confirm whether the instructions use US or UK terms. On a smooth-yarn sample, mark the first and last stitch and note whether the turning chain counts.

Try this example

For 48 stitches in six repeats, place repeat markers every eight stitches. If one section has nine, inspect that section before moving the round counter.

Check your result

• Count stitch tops separately from chain spaces and compare successive row or round totals. Lay the sample down without stretching it to inspect the shape.
• A symbol or familiar stitch name does not supply a complete construction. Use the project’s own counts, turning rules and joining instructions.
