CloverSoft Stitch Ring Markers, Other, Multicoloured, 2.4 x 8.52 x 14.62 cm

I liked these so much I ordered more for my friends but after waiting over a month for a delivery date to be sent to me I gave up and canceled the order, which was a shame as I loved mine and I was sure they would too.

Use these stitch markers to keep track of stitch repeats especially for lace knitting. Can use with fine yarns as soft and don’t get in way. Seem to be unbreakable

I've been using little loops of tied yarn hung on my knitting needles inbetween my stitches to slide along the needle while casting on - to get the right number of stitches and also to show where a circuit ends when using circular needles.These little darlings don't help with the casting on but they are great when knitting on circular needles.I was doing a toddlers jumper downwards. I marked the join between the sleeves and the raglan front with one colour and the join between sleeves and the raglan at the back. It was bliss = I just had to increase either side of the marker.I have tried using split rings but they are very stiff. These are soft so you can incline one to left. right, back or front at will. They also have a degree of non slip in them - so you can grip so you are unlikely to drop one as you pass it from one needle to another.I was using size 4mm. (8) needles and the big rings were great.I love using circular needles and these really help. 20 out of 10.Edit. I have now got used to using these when I initially cast on.I generally use the one needle cast on method and always cast on on a straight needle, transferring later to a circular needle. after knitting about three rows of rib.Cast on ten stitches - check there are actually 10 and pop a ring on the needle.Cast on another ten stitches and add another ring. etc etc.Casting on for later circular needle useI have got into the habit of using one colour of ring for the front of a jumper then placing a different coloured ring at the end of the cast on stitches of the FRONT AND casting on the stitches of the BACK directly afterwards on the same long straight needle. I use a different colour of ring between all the groups of ten stitches for the back. Different colour ring for end of back stitches once they are on a circular needle.If you have only got two colours of soft rings thread a piece of cotton through where the front and back meet at each end.I would not be without them now.Make sure you buy Soft rings as I have some I bought which are very thin but not bendy. It makes a difference.

I had these markers years ago, loved them, lost them over time, bought another brand and hated the other brand. These soft Clover markers are much more comfortable and stay on the needles better than rigid markers. I just wish I could buy packets of the small size only.

I haven't used them yet but these were just what I expected.Arrived well before arrival date.

I learn't the basics of knitting as a kid but haven't really attempted to make anything since. With life as it is now I thought I'd give knitting a jumper a go. I was using some hard plastic stitch marker rings but they kept pinging off and disappearing. They also made holding the knitting uncomfortable as they could dig into fingers.So I thought I'd try these.I had expected them to be more squishy like elastic bands but they are far firmer, they hold their shape while remaining soft.They are comfortable while knitting, I don't notice/ feel them. As the are green / purple you can see them clearly. They don't slip off and they do an excellent job of marking stitches.So glad I bought these.

Clover products are always good. These stitch markers are soft and as there is no join or split (as with most markers) there is no wool snagging. I’m knitting with 100% wool at the moment and ordered these as I was fed up with the split type pulling and breaking my work. Recommended!

I didn't want the hard markers and chose these soft stitch markers and am so pleased with these. I've been using the stitch markers a lot since they arrived and couldn't be happier. I'm so glad to have chosen the soft rings as they do not scratch the needles, nor snag, nor cause any other issues. While the bright green and purple are not my favourite colours, it does mean that I find them easily when they fall down accidentally :) Very pleased with this set.
