SOHMO Open Stitch Markers

These SOHMO open stitch markers work for both knitting and crochet. These stitch markers by SOHMO come in the form of 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 which is 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 which are 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) great 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 great for knitting only, where the marker stays on the needle throughout.
