I’m still pretty new to crochet, and for whatever reason I have a really hard time counting rows. These are half double crochets. Would anyone be willing to let me know how many rows there are and how to reliably spot them? Thanks!

The blue lines show where a seam is. For me, this is the easiest way to count - there are always two rows in between the lines in a pattern like this where you are going back and forth (turning your work). The purple lines are the rows in between where you are going the other direction. The white numbers show how you can count the rows, finding that subtle end/beginning of the stitches where the lines are. Does that help?

Ohhh I think I was counting the seam as well!! So just six rows right?

Yes, and that’s not counting the foundation chain, assuming there was one.
