Beginner Crochet Tips Part 5: Use Stitch Markers

Granny Stitch Capelet

 There are several options for using stitch markers in crochet, and you can choose the one that works best for you. Here are some ideas:

  1. Safety pins: Small safety pins are a great option for stitch markers. They're easy to attach and remove, and you can use them to mark individual stitches or sections of your work.

  2. Locking stitch markers: These are specially designed stitch markers that lock in place, so they won't slip out of your work. They come in a variety of sizes and colors, and they're great for marking rounds or sections of your work.

  3. Paper clips: If you don't have any stitch markers on hand, paper clips can work in a pinch. They're not as secure as other options, but they'll help you keep track of your stitches.

  4. Yarn scraps: You can use small pieces of yarn as stitch markers. Simply tie a piece of yarn around your hook or into the stitch you want to mark.

  5. Bobby pins: Bobby pins are another option for stitch markers and they are MY FAVORITE. They're easy to slide into your work, and they come in a variety of sizes.

  6. Beads: You can use small beads as stitch markers. Thread the bead onto a piece of yarn and tie the yarn into a loop. Then, slide the loop onto your hook or into the stitch you want to mark.

  7. Clothespins: Miniature clothespins work great as stitch markers, and they're easy to find at craft stores. You can clip them onto your work to mark individual stitches or sections.

Remember, the most important thing is to choose a stitch marker that works for you and your project. Happy crocheting!
