Stitch Markers

Stitch markers help you keep track of your crochet and knitting projects. You use them to mark a stitch, row, round, or pattern repeat, so you know exactly where you left off. They’re handy for Amigurumi, socks, sweaters, cardigans, blankets, cable patterns, and projects with increases or decreases.

In this collection, you'll find various types of stitch markers, such as closable stitch markers, open Stitch Markers, metal charms, heart-shaped markers, and complete accessory sets. This makes it easy to choose the marker that suits your technique, yarn, and project.

When crocheting, closable stitch markers are ideal because you can snap them right onto a stitch. When knitting, open rings are often used that you slide onto the needle, but closable markers are also handy for marking a specific spot in your work. This way, you avoid having to count stitches, you’re less likely to lose track of the yarn, and you can work on your pattern with greater peace of mind.

What are stitch markers used for?

You use a stitch marker to indicate an important point in your work. Examples include the beginning of a round, a spot where you need to increase or decrease, a raglan line, a cable repeat, or the middle of a project. In Amigurumi, you often use stitch markers to mark the beginning of a round.

Closable stitch markers or open stitch markers?

Which stitch marker you choose depends on your project. Clasp-style stitch markers snap into place in a stitch, making them ideal for crochet, Amigurumi, and projects where you want to move the marker around as you go. Open-style stitch markers slide onto your Knitting Needle and move along with the stitches as you knit.
