what is counter? My child has to draw a piece of yarn 3 counters long over the top needle, 4 counters long over the middle neddle and 5 counters long over the bottom needle! But I don't know what a counter is!
a counter is a measuring strip, usually like a paper ruler, usually marked at one inch increments. 4 counters long=4inches.
If you child doesn't have one, make a strip of paper marked in inches.
