Row Counter

This is an easy way to keep track when you have to do an increase or decrease every so many rows. I can never remember to just count rows in my head! Take a piece of yarn and make knots leaving as many loops as the number of rows in your repeat. Every time you come to the marker, move your needle down one loop. In this case, I have to do an increase every fourth row. I have just come to the marker with the needle in the second hole, so I am ready to do the third row, so I'll move the marker to the third loop.
