Knitter's Pride KP800172 Mio Stitch Split Ring Markers (30 Pack)

These are great for crocheting because they are small and don’t get in the way or fall out. I have other brands and they can be bulky and a pain to remove.

i really have mixed feelings about these stitch markers. I love the concept but wish these were a little larger and more substantial.I originally bought the clover stitch markers that you have to lock into place, and I believe they are a little larger and easier to handle for people who are beginning to have problems with stiff fingers. the only drawback with the clover stitch markers is having to lock them, so it's difficult to use just one hand. with the knitter's pride, tho, I found that using one hand could cause the red heart super saver economy yarn to split if not inserted very carefully.with both kinds of stich markers, i find it safer to insert a hook into the stitch first and then slide the stitch markers in close to the hook to keep from damaging the yarn. removal takes 2 hands, so as not to stretch and split the yarn. while crocheting, one of these rotated in the stitch, got caught, and pulled, stretched and split the stitch. I'd say both kinds of markers have their drawbacks. slipping a small piece of different-colored left-over yarn into a stitch is probably still the safest thing to do (especially since i have to insert a hook in the stich to place a marker there anyway).also, i think the knitter's pride markers will be much easier to lose, because they are so small and light weight. in addition, i have to worry about my small cat getting hold of one of these markers to play with and possibly accidently swallowing it ... have to be careful with all small items (and he really does leave my crochet things alone), but these just seem too tiny and light weight. especially for that reason, plus the other listed reasons, I'm deducting three stars. oh, i do love that knitter's pride at least includes more markers in the package than clover does ... think i'll keep these to use as a back up for "in-a-pinch" situations (yet hope that situation never arises).as i said, i love the concept, so if knitter's pride would make these a little larger and heavier/thicker, i would be much more likely to use them on a regular basis. i should have known how tiny these would be from the highly enlarged product photo. I've found that with some things, tho, you just have to find out for yourself. I guess I'm much like the very curious cat ... and at least I'm satisfied that I'm no longer curious (about these stich markers, anyway). lol

I don't knit, but these work well for marking crochet stitches. They're smaller than the safety pin style I've been using (1/2", 14mm) which makes them easy to work around. The best part is that it only takes one hand to attach and detach. They seem strong. I think you'd need to apply a good bit of torque to break them. There are two colors, one which stands out against light colored yarn and one for dark colored yarn. I haven't found a single one which is rough or snags the yarn.The only drawback is that they're pretty expensive compared to other brands if you intend to use many or tend to lose them -- easy to do with small things. But, according to reviews of other types, cheaper ones seem to need filing for rough spots or break easily. I'm willing to invest in the quality.

No flaws in the plastic and not loose either. They slid into my stitches with ease and held tightly. Love the colors, too bad there weren’t more. Would buy these again. They even had a nice little vinyl/plastic type case with a foldable/closing lid to keep them all secure when not in use.

I was so tired of the Stitch markers I had, which would come out as I worked in small rounds making amigurumi. Not only did they frequently fall out, but they required two hands to put them in and take them out. I love these Stitch markers. It is really easy to move them with one hand, and so far not a single one has fallen out.The only downside to this set is the colors. I really wish I could get a package with multiple bright colors. The green are bright and easy to see, unless I'm working on a green background. The darker ones are kind of a maroon color, which do stand out against brightly colored yarn, but are very difficult to see when I place them on the table, or if one gets knocked off into the carpet.

I wanted stitch markers that were a little larger than the average ones. These are exactly what I was looking for. They are smooth and sturdy and I am enjoying using them! Would definitely recommend to other crocheters!

Love the 9 stitch markers that are usable. Rest of the packet is bent scratched or broken making them useless and not worth the time to send them back for 5$. This damage happened before shipping as the rest of my box contents were fine. Packaging looked like it sat under a shelf for years then got run over by a vehicle in a very dirty parking lot.

I've never seen this item but in going through sewing notions decided I might try. They are such a helper when I'm crochet so many scarves during the year for the homeless at Christmas time. I am OCD so get frustrated to back track when I drop or add an extra stitch. But keeping a pin every so often when I count the row is helpful when I'm not paying attn to every row.

Parfait

They do what they are suppose to do but appears to be only one size.

These are fine... After using these I realized that I much prefer the ones that close.

I like the thickness and design of the markers. They are easy to place and easy to remove if used as row markers.

These stitch markers are cute, handy and well priced. They help me track my patterns and rounds, especially when knitting in the round. Good buy.
