SOHMO Snail Stitch Markers - Open Swirl Markers for Knitting & Crochet, Pack of 50

Open stitch markers that work for both knitting and crochet - in a snail swirl design that slips in and out of stitches Closed stitch markers are brilliant for knitting, but for crochet, they don't work. 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. The 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. Two 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. Closed vs open - which do you need? Open markers (our Snail markers) - for crochet, or for knitting when you need to add/remove markers without accessing the needle tip. Also useful for marking rows or errors after the fact. Closed markers - for knitting only, where the marker stays on the needle throughout.
