“Put on a creature you control” includes that creature entering the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it. If a creature would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it while you control Hardened Scales, it enters with that many counters plus one.

Sep 20, 2014

Each additional Hardened Scales you control will increase the number of +1/+1 counters placed on a creature by one.
