7 Handy Uses For Stitch Markers

Anyone who knows me, from a crocheting perspective, knows that I am a huge fan of stitch markers. I have used stitch markers since the day that I started learning to crochet, and still use them every day (albeit for slightly different purposes). Recently my love affair with stitch markers reached new heights when my friends and family were kind enough to buy me some beautiful stitch markers for my birthday and at Christmas (as you will have seen within the Elimee Designs video blog).

Stitch markers can be helpful in a multitude of ways when crocheting (and knitting), which I will discuss below. There are also many different types of stitch markers, and alternatives to stitch markers - check out our blog post ‘20 ways to make crocheting more affordable’.

Our beautiful Easter egg-themed blanket crochet pattern makes an adorable baby blanket - perfect for gifting at your next baby shower 😊. This baby-sized afghan will keep your gorgeous bundle of joy feeling safe and warm.

I loved crocheting this pattern because it allowed me to combine two of my favourite crochet techniques - filet crochet and colourwork.
