Difference From Knitting Stitch Markers
Unlike knitting stitch markers, which are closed bands, crochet markers have open slots so that they can be removed and rehung on new rows as a craft item grows. In order to distinguish from other types of stitch markers, the markers designed for crochet use are also known as split stitch markers.
Specific advice from crochet expert Edie Eckman includes:
- Avoid the round markers meant only for knitting; you need a type that can be opened so you can hang it on a stitch.
Among the differences between crochet and knitting is that crocheters seldom work with more than one stitch at a time, while knitters routinely carry dozens of stitches on their knitting needles. For these reasons these two textile arts require different kinds of stitch markers.
