Knitting Stitch Markers
Three stitch marker designs. Closed for knitting, open for crochet.
Stitch markers slip onto the needle or into a stitch to mark a specific point in your pattern - the beginning of a round, an increase or decrease, a cable repeat, a section boundary in colourwork. Having the right type for the right technique makes a difference to how smoothly a project flows.
SOHMO stitch markers are made from enamelled metal with a smooth, snag-free finish - no rough edges to catch on even the finest yarn. All three designs are packaged in reusable sliding-lid tins.
Choosing the right type:
Closed markers loop directly onto the needle and stay put for the whole project, sliding from needle to needle as you knit past them. They can't be added or removed mid-row without access to the needle tip.
- Heart Stitch Markers - one size, two shades of pink, pack of 50. The choice for knitters who want their markers to be as lovely as what they're making.
- Round Stitch Markers - three sizes (6mm, 10mm, 17mm) to fit fine through chunky needles, pack of 50. The choice for knitters who work across a range of needle sizes and need the right fit for each project.
Open markers have a gap in the design that allows them to be hooked in and out of a stitch at any point - without needing to thread onto a needle first. Essential for crochet, where a closed ring can't be placed. Also useful in knitting when you need to add or remove a marker mid-row, or mark a specific stitch after the fact.
- Snail Stitch Markers - open swirl design, 25 yellow and 25 orange, pack of 50. For crochet and knitting. The snail swirl hooks easily into a stitch, holds securely while you work, and comes out cleanly when you're ready to move it.
- Blub Pins - coil-free pins that work as lightweight stitch markers without distorting fine projects.
Not sure which to choose? Knitters who work primarily in the round with one needle size will be well served by the Hearts. Knitters who switch between needle sizes regularly should look at the Rounds. Crocheters and knitters who want flexibility mid-row should start with the Snails.
