How Shared Project Counter Works?
The Shared Project Counter works by adding each contributor's count into a Shared Total and counting the Contributors. Each person counts on their own device and reports a number, and the organiser adds the numbers up.

Agree what everyone counts: stitches, rows, squares or hours.
Collect counts
Ask each contributor for their number.
Add to the total
Add each number to Shared Total with taps or Step by 10.
Count contributors

Shared Project Counter Formula
The Shared Project Counter formula is shared total = Σ contributor counts and average = shared total ÷ contributors.
- Shared total
T = Σ cᵢcᵢ is each contributor's count.
- Average
Avg = T ÷ nn is Contributors.
- Share of goal
Share = T ÷ goal × 100Share shows progress for the group.
Worked example: Twelve contributors who make 9 squares each give a shared total of 108 squares, 90% of a 120-square charity blanket.
Shared Project Counter Conversion Table
The Shared Project Counter conversion table shows the squares each person makes for 4 group blanket sizes.
| Contributors | 48 squares | 80 squares | 120 squares | 200 squares |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 24 | 40 | 60 | 100 |
| 4 | 12 | 20 | 30 | 50 |
| 6 | 8 | 14 | 20 | 34 |
| 8 | 6 | 10 | 15 | 25 |
| 12 | 4 | 7 | 10 | 17 |
| 20 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 10 |
Values round up, so the group makes at least the goal.
What is Shared Project Counter?
A Shared Project Counter is a tool that adds up progress from several people working on one project. Charity blankets and group gifts split the work between many crafters.
Each Stitches Counter page saves counts on one device, so the shared total is built from reported numbers. A shared total shows the group how close the goal is.
