Lovely little stitch markers
Perfect for my sock knitting obsession. Good mix of colours. Arrived quickly, packaging was both pretty & guaranteed to ensure my stitch markers arrived safely. I keep losing them so I will be back
Highly recommended quality make & design
Perfect item to help maintain row count and mark increases when using finer yarn. Highly recommended quality make and design - thank you Emma as I was struggling keep count of rows and increases - your lovely item solved my struggle! Perfect sale all the way!
One of the best things I have bought this year
As someone who is hopeless at counting my rows, this has been an absolute lifesaver! I am so glad I came across this so early into my knitting journey because it has already saved me lots of time. I even bought a second one because I was worried about losing this one. This is easily one of the best things I have bought this year and for such an affordable price you just can't go wrong!
Beautiful necklace!
Very sturdy for tension required for Portuguese knitting. And an extra surprise for me, from Wales, where I spend every summer visiting family; no wonder the design caught my eye. Greetings from Pembroke!
I love the DPN holders!
Lately, I've been knitting both socks at once, and ordered more DPN holders to keep things from falling apart in my project bag. My order was made and shipped quickly. Atomic Knitting even worked with me when I realised an error in my order. Thank you for the products and the quick service!

They are so beautiful and deceptively light. Will be looking out for other notions with these beads from Emma.

Hours of Enjoyment
These work really well to slip the stitches off and hold them. Bonus: my 2 year old grandson loves the tiny containers and likes to take the things out and put them back. Over and over. Hours of enjoyment for both of us.

A stitch marker is more than just an accessory—it’s a memory device that helps you track important points in your knitting or crochet projects. Whether you're marking increases, decreases, pattern changes, yarn changes, or counting stitches, stitch markers make crafting easier and more enjoyable.
For Knitters:
Our stitch markers slip onto the knitting needle, making it easy to:
✔ Count stitches effortlessly
✔ Minimise mistakes, saving time and yarn
✔ Tackle complex patterns with confidence
✔ Enjoy stylish markers that look fabulous on your needles!
For Crocheters:
Clip stitch markers directly onto your work to:
✔ Track rows with ease
✔ Mark stitches that need attention later
Whatever your project, the right stitch marker can make all the difference!
Stitch markers come in various styles, designed to suit different knitting and crochet needs. Whether they slip onto the needle or clip onto a stitch, they help you track pattern changes, count stitches, and prevent mistakes.
Ring Markers
✔ Ideal for marking rows with upcoming pattern changes
✔ Some feature a split design for easy removal if accidentally knitted in
Dangle-Free Markers
✔ Perfect for simple stitch marking on the needle
✔ Great for large projects that require multiple markers
✔ Often available in bumper packs for convenience
Clip Stitch Markers (Crochet Markers)
✔ Best for marking a specific stitch rather than the needle
✔ Easily clipped into and removed from a stitch loop
Removable Stitch Markers
✔ Versatile—can be used on the needle or clipped onto stitches
✔ Widely used in both crochet and knitting
No matter your project, there's a perfect stitch marker to keep your stitches on track!
Stitch markers are a knitter’s best friend, helping you stay on track, reduce mistakes, and create a more professional finish. Whether you’re knitting in the round, shaping garments, or working on intricate patterns, stitch markers make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
✔ Mark the end of a row in circular knitting – Essential for knowing where your round begins and ends.
✔ Track increases, decreases & pattern changes – Avoid the frustration of realizing you missed a change half a row back!
✔ Count stitches with ease – A must-have for sock knitting, ensuring row ends, sleeves, and V-neck shaping align perfectly.
✔ Achieve a polished finish – Get a professional look in your handmade projects by keeping everything in place.
With the right stitch markers, your knitting stays organized, stress-free, and beautifully crafted!
Incorporating stitch markers into your knitting is simple and makes a world of difference in keeping track of your progress.
✔ For Circular Knitting: Place the stitch marker on the needle in your right hand before knitting the round. This helps mark the start of each row so you never lose your place.
✔ For Pattern Changes: Use a stitch marker to highlight upcoming pattern shifts, making it easier to follow complex designs without second-guessing.
✔ Moving the Marker: When you reach the marker again, simply slip it from the right-hand needle to the left and continue knitting.
Remember, stitch markers can be placed on either side of your knitting, depending on what you need to track. They’re a simple yet powerful tool for keeping your knitting organized and stress-free!
Stitch markers are an essential tool for crocheters, helping to track stitches, mark important points, and prevent mistakes. Unlike knitting, where markers sit on the needle, crochet stitch markers are clipped directly onto stitches for easy placement and removal.
Ways to Use Stitch Markers in Crochet:
✔ Mark the Beginning of a Round – When working in the round, place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round to keep track of where each new round starts.
✔ Track Increases & Decreases – Place a stitch marker at each increase or decrease point to ensure even shaping in your project.
✔ Count Rows Easily – Mark the first or last stitch of a row to make row counting a breeze, especially in large or complex projects.
✔ Hold Stitches in Place – Prevent stitches from unraveling by clipping a marker to the last stitch of your work when setting your project aside.
✔ Identify Pattern Repeats – Use different colored markers to highlight specific sections of a pattern, making it easier to follow along without losing your place.
With the right stitch markers, crochet becomes more organised, accurate, and enjoyable! ✨
