Counting Rows
It’s sometimes hard to count the number of rows in stockinette, especially if you are using a little bit of a fuzzy yarn. Instead, count rows from the back/purl side and stretch it out a bit so you can easily see the rows.

Uneven Stockinette Stitches
Use one size smaller needle on the purl side of stockinette stitches to make knitting more even overall and be more like machine knitting. Purl stitches take just a smidge more yarn and 1 needle size smaller will compensate for the difference. If you aren't sure if you have uneven stockinette stitches, turn your work over and stretch it vertically a bit. If you have "channels" showing every 2 rows, you need to use this tip.
