Keep track of every stitch with stitch markers and row counters from KnitPro, Addi, Pony and other selected brands. These small but essential knitting and crochet accessories help you follow patterns, mark shaping points, count rows and rounds, and work confidently on sweaters, socks, shawls, amigurumi and more.

Which stitch markers should you choose?

Ring stitch markers slide onto knitting needles and are useful for marking the beginning of a round, pattern repeats or raglan increases. Locking and split-ring markers can be attached directly to a stitch, making them useful for crochet, counting rows, marking increases and keeping track of work in progress. Choose a marker that suits your needle size and yarn without snagging the fibres.

How to use row counters

Row counters help you keep track of rows, rounds and pattern repeats when following instructions. Choose between manual click counters, barrel-style counters, wearable counter rings and electronic counters according to your preferred workflow. Reset the counter when beginning a new section, and use stitch markers alongside it to track shaping or stitch repeats.

Expert tips for knitting and crochet

For top-down sweaters, place markers at raglan lines and use a row counter to follow increases. For socks, mark the start of the round. For crochet and amigurumi, removable locking markers are particularly helpful for identifying the first stitch of each round. Use different colours to distinguish pattern sections.
