Getting started

Count your first rows

Tap along with your hook: stitches, rows, fixing mistakes, and starting fresh.

  1. Step 1: Open the Counter tab

    Open HookPlan and you are already in the right place: the Counter tab. The Rows counter tracks which row you are on, and the Stitches counter tracks your place within the row. There is nothing to set up first.

    The Counter tab at zero, with the Rows counter above the Stitches counter and plus and minus buttons beside each.

  2. Step 2: Tap plus as you stitch

    Each time you finish a stitch, tap the plus button on the Stitches counter. The number animates up, so you can confirm the tap landed without reading it. Tap at your own pace; HookPlan keeps up.

  3. Step 3: Bump the row counter

    At the end of a row, tap plus on the Rows counter. If you like, a setting can automatically reset your stitch count to zero each time the row goes up, so every row starts clean.

    The Rows counter increased by one, with the stitch counter ready for the next row.

  4. Step 4: Fix a mistake with minus

    Tapped one too many? Tap the minus button and the count steps right back down. Nothing in HookPlan is ever lost by accident, so correct away.

  5. Step 5: Reset when you start something new

    When a project wraps up, tap Reset All to bring both counters back to zero. HookPlan always asks before clearing anything, so a stray tap can never wipe your progress.
