Open markers clip directly into a stitch or loop at any point, without stopping to thread anything. That's what the SOHMO Snail Stitch Markers are designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe swirl or spiral shape - which is where the snail name comes from - creates an open gap that hooks easily into a stitch, holds securely while you work, and comes out cleanly when you're ready to move it. For crocheters, they mark beginning-of-round positions, stitch counts, increase and decrease points, and any other reference in a pattern you need to track. For knitters, they work the same way as any open locking marker - useful when you need to add or remove a marker mid-row without access to the needle tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTwo colours in each tin - 25 yellow and 25 orange - easy to distinguish from each other, and bright enough to spot against most yarn colours. Using two colours lets you track two different things in the same project simultaneously: one colour for the beginning of the round, another for a pattern repeat or stitch count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosed vs open - which do you need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen markers (our Snail markers) -\u003c\/strong\u003e for crochet, or for knitting when you need to add\/remove markers without accessing the needle tip.
