Quite often, when you are knitting socks, or other objects in the round, increases or decreases are made every other round. Yes, you can use a row counter to help remember where you are in the pattern. However, if you are working on DPNs, you can also use your DPN tips to track rounds.
Thanks to Skacel for providing the yarn and needles used in this tutorial. These products are available locally at many yarn shops and online at Makers' Mercantile.
