Another way to count rows (for Entrelac you want every other row) is to place a marker (that opens) at the beginning of the first and every other row following. To check yourself, if you spread the stitches you will see 2 yarn bits stretched between each pin.
In this example, the pattern is 14 rows and 7 stitches. The needle is inserted through the first stitch to be picked up, while pin-markers show the other 6 stitches for picking up.
After you have loaded the needle with the row that has been picked up and knit/purled, it's a good idea to adjust the tension of the stitches. During the learning stage, the process may feel clumsy, and your stitches will reflect that.
