Tip: When working with a dark yarn, it can be
hard to see what row you are on. If you need to
keep track, but don’t like to use a row counter,
simply add an extra stitch marker to your needle
and move it with every round. For round 1, place
it 1 stitch from the beginning of the round. For
round 2, move it to 2 stitches from the beginning
of the round. This way, you can pick up and put
down your knitting and not have to worry about
losing your place.
