Counting rows? Stitch Scroll keeps your place.
Stitch Scroll reads the knitting or crochet pattern you own and turns it into rows you count with a tap. It checks the stitch counts row by row before you start, so a slip in the pattern shows up early. Every row shows how many stitches you should end with.
