This handy stitch marker set is custom designed to help you knit socks. There are six markers in total: three marked with the image of a single sock and a complimentary set marked with two socks, making it easy for you to mark which sock you’re working on when knitting a pair of socks together on one long knitting needle—what is known as the magic loop technique. For each sock you are knitting, there is one “beginning of round” (BOR) marker, one marker for the slip slip knit decrease (marked “ssk”) and one for the knit two together decrease (marked “k2tog”). These are ideal for knitting a gusset heel flap. 

There are two options for ring type:

* Rings - stainless steel rings with a 9.5mm inner diameter. These are big enough to fit over size 11 needles, but not so big that they're uncomfortable to use on smaller knitting.

* Pins - removable black bulb shaped safety pins, which fit best on needles smaller than size 3.
