Section Counter

How Section Counter Works?

The Section Counter works by moving Current Section forward each time you finish a named part of the pattern, such as the brim, body or crown. Total Sections holds the number of parts the pattern has.

1. 1

   List the sections

   Write down the pattern parts in order, for example brim, body, crown, finishing for a hat. Set Total Sections with →.

2. 2

   Advance at each section end

   Tap the count pad or press Space when a section is done. Current Section shows the section number you are in.

3. 3

   Track progress

   Read Current Section against Total Sections to see how far through the pattern you are.

4. 4

   Step back

   Press ↓ to return to an earlier section if you rip back.

Section Counter Formula

The Section Counter formula is pattern progress = completed sections ÷ total sections × 100. Weighted progress uses the rows in each section instead of the section count.

Simple progress

Progress % = C ÷ T × 100

C is Current Section and T is Total Sections.

Weighted progress

Progress % = rows done ÷ total rows × 100

Weighted progress is more exact when sections differ in size.

Sections left

Left = T − C

Left is the parts still to work.

Worked example: A sweater pattern with 6 sections (hem, body, yoke, neck, sleeve 1, sleeve 2) at Current Section 3 is 3 ÷ 6 = 50% done by section count.

Section Counter Conversion Table

The Section Counter conversion table splits 4 common projects into sections and shows the share of rows in each one.

Shares are typical values for adult sizes. Check your pattern for exact row counts.

What is Section Counter?

A Section Counter is a tool that tracks which part of a multi-part pattern you are working on. Patterns split projects into named parts, each with its own instructions and row counts.

Knowing the section keeps you on the correct page of the pattern. The Stitches Counter tool saves the section number and total in your browser.
