Silver chain row counters

My favourite way to count rows and repeats. ⁠It works just like an abacus - it's beautifully simple, and makes counting a pleasure!

Three designs to choose from.
They are completely snag free, handmade with the finest 935 Argentium Silver.
A tool to treasure for life.

Size...

Suitable for up to 6.5mm knitting needles, or any crochet project.
If you need a larger size, send us a message :)

How it works...

For knitting:

Slip the first ring onto the needle like a stitch marker, and simply move one ring down the chain with each row. Like this, the needle counts 1-10.
When you reach row 11, move the needle back to the first ring, and also add the small marker to the first ring. This marker will count the tens (10, 20, 30 etc).
When the small marker reaches the end of the chain, you have 100 rows - well done!! 😁 Now, add in the larger marker to count the hundreds - up to 1000 rows.

For crochet / off the needles:

Clip the chain onto your project, and use the small marker to count 1-10 by moving it down the chain with each row. When you reach row 11, move it back to the first ring and add the large marker to count the tens.
If you need to, you can add a third marker to count the 100s. 

For repeats:

Keep track of the rows as usual (however many rows are in the repeated section).
Now use the big marker to count the repeats as you go.

At any time just count the rings to quickly see where you are in the pattern. 

The counter comes with instructions, in a merino-lined Fizzy Stitches tin.
