Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new device for counting stitch rows in textue pieces. This device includes a flexible tape with indicia for counting the rows. The tape can be easily woven through the textile piece and is easy to manipulate. This device makes it quick and easy to count the stitch rows in a textile piece.

Problems solved by technology

The problem with this however is that counting the stitch rows is a tedious task, time-consuming, and easy to lose count when manually counting which results in multiple recounting.
However, these attempts have not been satisfactory as they are typically cumbersome, awkward, obstructive, or are too easily removed (and as such fall off the textile before it is completed).

Embodiment Construction

[0020]As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to textile creation and more particularly to a stitch row counting device as used to easily keep track of stitch rows of a knitting or crochet project, ensuring greater accuracy, and improved ability to finish projects more efficiently. This may encourage existing artists to complete more projects, and also help new users to learn quicker.

[0021]Generally disclosed is a device which may be made from a strong, durable, smooth and pliable material allowing it to be “woven” into crochet or knitting projects. This may be a natural, fluid motion in keeping with motions completed when knitting or crocheting. The device may be approximately 3 mm wide×1000 m long and include distinct markings and numbers in sequence from 0 (zero) to 100. The numbers may be located on both front and rear sides of the device, and may be spaced either 5 mm apart, 10 mm apart, or 15 mm apart for small, medium and large projects. As such, when...

Abstract

A device including a tape configured to be “woven” into a textile piece (i.e., crochet or knitting projects) and at least one set of row-counting indicia having a plurality of numbers arranged on a front surface and a rear surface of the tape. When the tape is woven into the crochet or knitting projects, a number is shown above every stitch row, clearly indicating the number of each stitch row. The device remains in place during use which allows a user to easily count and keep track of their stitch rows when knitting or crocheting. Once completed, the user may easily slide the device from the textile piece without damaging the device or the project. The device ensures accuracy and is especially helpful in circumstances where the user does not complete the project in one sitting.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of textile creation of existing art and more specifically relates to a stitch row counting device for use in textile creation, such as in knitting and crochet.RELATED ART[0003]The art of knitting and crochet involves manipulating yarn to create textiles. Knitting and crochet patterns are used to create a particular textile, such as a garment, in a particular shape, size, etc. Each new knitting or crochet pattern includes instructions for how many stitch rows are needed for a particular project (for example, there could be 50 stitch rows in one patter...
