What is a "Stitch Count"?
A Stitch Count is the
number of stitches needed per row.
This Swatch has 16 dc.
Make sure to read the notes on the pattern.
It will tell you if a ch3 counts as a dc.

It is important to count every row or round,
or you may have to pull out stitches.

What if I
have too many Stitches
at the end
of my row?

If you have too many stitches, and you are off by just 1 you can always do a decrease stitch.
But if you are off by several stitches, count your stitches from the previous row and
figure out where you went wrong.

What if I
don't have enough at the end
of my row?

If you are short just one stitch you can even it out with an increase st, but again is you are off by several you will need to pull out the stitches
and correct the error.

Counting Your stitches as you go is very important.
It will save you time and frustration.
