Do I need stitch markers?
If you’ve ever lost count of your knitting stitches or lost your place in your pattern, knitting stitch markers are for you. Stitch markers are often kept on the needle but you can also attach them to the knitting itself. In short, they are essential to knitters and must-haves because they are so helpful.
How many stitch markers do you need?
Be sure to pay attention to size as they can vary and you want stitch markers that will fit over your most used needles. Also, stitch markers often come in packs of 10 to 20 (or more) and this is not too much. It’s better to have too many than too few and you might want to buy two packs at one time.
What do you use stitch markers for?
Stitch markers are often used to mark the end of a row in when knitting in the round with circular knitting needles—it is not obvious where the circle begins and ends. Slip a marker onto one needle when joining in the round and slip it to the other needle each time you pass by.
Do you need stitch markers to crochet?
It is also helpful to use crochet stitch markers when you are working with yarns that have very little stitch definition. For example, if you are working with mohair or another fuzzy yarn, you might choose to use stitch markers to remind yourself of where the next stitch in a pattern should go.
