Quick locking stitch markers can be used in both locked and unlocked position. Their undulated design prevents stretching of stitches and vibrant colors easy to identify. And they look like little sheep! We think these are the best, most useful stitch markers made. Here’s how we have seen them used: to count stitches being cast-on, to “save” a dropped stitch until it can be rescued, to clip a bunch of stitch markers together, to hold stitches (as in a mitten thumb), to mark location of increases/decreases, and even use as . . . stitch markers! Functionally, these markers operate like safety pins. The locking mechanism assures that the marker will not fall off. 20 per package.
