How to count stitches / Counting stitches: Crochet Basics

Counting stitches is vital to stay on track in crochet. It's much easier to pull out one row than it is to pull out everything so, as a beginner, you should either be counting your stitches as you go, or counting at the end of each crocheted row, to double-check your accuracy. One of the most common mistakes in crochet is missing or adding a stitch within a row.
