Technical Specification: Triangle Shawl Row Counter & Stitch Calculator
Overview
A clean, distraction-free, browser-based tool for knitters to track row progression and calculate stitch counts for triangle shawl projects. Designed for mobile-first usage to sit next to the user while knitting.
Core Features
- Row Counter Interface: Large, touch-friendly increment/decrement buttons with visual feedback.
- Dynamic Stitch Math: Automatic calculation of current stitch count based on user-defined increase rules (e.g., "Add 4 stitches every 2 rows").
- Project Configuration: Input fields for Needle Size, Fiber Type, and Pattern Notes (stored in-memory only).
- Export/Import Functionality: Since local storage is blocked, include a "Save Session to File" (JSON) feature to allow users to export their current progress and load it later.
- Progress Visualizer: A simple graphical progress bar showing rows completed vs. total rows.
UI Layout
- Header: Minimalist brand-free title, "Export/Import" button, and "Reset" button.
- Main Dashboard:
- Left Column: Project parameters (Settings).
- Center Column: Large current row display, primary Increment (+1) button, Undo (-1) button.
- Right Column: Real-time status (Calculated total stitch count, % complete).
- Style: Professional "SaaS" aesthetic. Use plenty of whitespace, subtle rounded corners, and a palette of soft sage, slate blue, and warm off-white. No borders on containers—use light box-shadows for depth.
Color Palette
- Primary Background:
#FAFAFA(Off-White) - Card Background:
#FFFFFF(White) - Primary Accent:
#8FB399(Soft Sage Green) - Secondary Accent:
#7D98B3(Soft Slate Blue) - Text:
#333333(Charcoal Gray) - Shadows:
0 4px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)
Animation & Transitions
- Buttons: Smooth
transform: scale(0.98)on click. - Counter: Simple CSS transition to update number values, potentially a subtle "pop" animation when the row increments.
- Responsiveness: Single-column layout on mobile, expanding to a 3-column dashboard on tablets and desktops.
Directives for Implementation
- Environment: Must be a single-file
.htmldocument (embedded CSS/JS). - Security: No usage of
localStorage,sessionStorage, orcookies. All data is ephemeral. Use the browser's Blob API for the export feature. - Compatibility: Ensure it runs inside a sandboxed iframe with
allow-scripts. - No Popups: Do not use
alert(),confirm(), orprompt(). All user interactions (e.g., confirming a reset) must be custom-built modal overlays inside the DOM. - Libraries: Use Tailwind CSS (via CDN) for responsive structure and FontAwesome (via CDN) for clean icons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using this application.
How does the triangle shawl row counter work?
The tool functions as an intuitive digital row counter specifically tailored for shawl knitting. Users set their starting row, target rows, and specific increase intervals (such as increasing every second row). The interface then tracks your progress and calculates the total stitch count expected based on the pattern logic you have defined. Because this tool is built for the browser, it is perfectly suited for use on a tablet or mobile phone while you knit. Simply tap the large increment button each time you finish a row, and the interface will update your current status and progress percentage instantly.
Can I save my knitting progress without an account?
This application operates entirely in-memory within your current browser session. Because it is designed with privacy and security in mind, it does not store your progress in cookies or local browser storage. If you refresh the page or close your browser, your current counts will reset. To preserve your work, we recommend using our 'Export Data' feature. This function allows you to download your project statistics as a text or JSON file, which you can save to your device. You can then import that file back into the tool whenever you return to your project.
Is this knitting tool safe to use in a browser?
Yes, this is a completely client-side application. No data is sent to a server, processed in the cloud, or stored on any external database. Everything happens locally within your web browser environment, which ensures that your personal patterns and project notes remain strictly private. Because the tool is sandboxed and does not require third-party cookies or persistent storage, it is extremely lightweight and fast. It works flawlessly across all modern browsers without requiring any installation or software downloads.
How do I handle shawl increases with this tool?
When setting up your project, you can define your 'Increase Frequency' and 'Stitch Addition Per Increase' variables. For instance, if your shawl pattern requires increasing four stitches every two rows, you can input these parameters into the settings panel. The tool will then automatically calculate the math for you. As you progress through your rows, the app highlights your 'Increase Rows' to help you avoid mistakes. This removes the need for manual mental math while you are focused on complex stitch patterns or yarn color changes, ensuring your shawl shape remains consistent throughout the project.
