When you crochet in the round, your stitches don’t form straight rows. Instead, they spiral, with one round flowing smoothly into the next. Once you know where to start and what to look for, you’ll be able to count your rounds and keep any project on track.
How to count rounds

Step-by-step instructions
Find the center:
Look at the center of your piece. This is where your work began, and it’s always Round 1.
Count outward:
From the center, count the rounds as they move outward. Each round forms its own line, even as they spiral. Count each line one by one - Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, and so on.
That's all there is to it. Once you know where to start and what to look for, you'll be able to count your rounds on any project. We're right here with you every step of the way.
You've got it when: You can point to each round and reach the same total two counts in a row.
