Here are the directions for the swatch that I made to use in the video to count rows/rounds in knitting. If you haven’t seen the video, the link is here. I think that if you make the swatch yourself, counting rows and rounds in knitting will be even easier for you than after watching the video.

You will need 2 balls of yarn, just small amounts, in the same weight and of different colors and a pair of needles of appropriate size to the yarn.

I used the backward loop cast on, video link here, but please use the cast on the is your personal default, this will help you the most.

I recommend carrying the yarn up the side of the swatch in case you decide to keep it, video link here.
