Stitch markers slip onto the needle between stitches to mark a specific point in your pattern – the beginning of a round, the position of an increase or decrease, the start of a cable repeat, a section boundary in colourwork. Closed markers like these loop directly onto the needle and stay put through the whole project, sliding easily from needle to needle as you knit past them.

SOHMO Heart Stitch Markers are made from enamelled metal with a smooth, snag-free finish –  no rough edges, no catches on even the finest or most delicate yarn. The internal opening fits needles up to 6mm, covering the full range from lace weight and sock knitting up to chunkier projects.

Two shades of soft pink in each tin to track two different things in the same pattern without needing to count.

At 10mm at the widest point, these sit neatly on the needle without bulk or weight. 50 markers per tin – enough for a complex pattern with multiple markers in play simultaneously, and enough to replace the inevitable few that find their way into the carpet and down the back of the couch.

Packaged in a sliding-lid SOHMO tin. A sweet gift for any knitter, and the kind of thing knitters buy for themselves because they like their tools to have a bit of charm.
