Knitting's passion involves the presence of masters of different devices and tools that allow you to make a comfortable work. Often, when knitting, there is a need to mark the loops, in order not to confuse with the beginning and the end of the row (with circular confusing), or when counting the loops required for the design of the pattern. In such cases, special elements are used, which markers are referred to in the professional sphere. Now the markers for knitting are presented in different variations, which allows the craftsmen to choose for themselves the most convenient.
Small parts
Opinion about the use of markers in knitting is ambiguous. Some believe that this is not the necessary excessiveness and for the mark it is quite possible to use infrid materials. Many still use what is at hand: paper clips, needles, threads, etc.
The simplest markers are contrasting strings that are tied at the necessary areas of the knitted canvas.
But there are products in which marks have to be put quite often. Permanent latching latch suspends the work process. As a result, the execution of the product is delayed in time. Therefore, needlewomen prefer to use ready-made plastic or metal tags.
Each Creator is not alien to the feeling of beautiful. I want the necessary devices to look properly.
Many of the masters are resorting to the creation of markers with their own hands. First, they look very beautiful, and secondly, they can individualize the needlewoman.
The main properties that high-quality markers must have easily attached, not to fly out of the canvas during operation and not cling to yarn.
The weight of the device is also of great importance. A heavy marker can pull out a loop from loose mating, which ultimately spoil the final type of product.
An independent manufacture of markers allows you to take into account all the nuances and at the exit to get a convenient thing in the work.

Cute rings
Markers in the form of rings are used when counting the loops on the needle. They can easily ease from one knitting needles to another.
For the manufacture of such tags you will need:
- jewelry wire;
- beads;
- round-rolls;
- Spice number 6.
The wire is once twisted around the knitting needles, as shown in the photo.
The resulting ring is removed from the knitting needles and scrolls around its axis twice.
Wire tips are cut at a distance of 1.5 cm from the ring base.
Round-rolls should bend the ends of the wire inside in such a way that they connect to each other. One end is slightly rejected. It is awarded prepared beads.
The remaining end of the wire is inserted into the opposite opening of the beads. In order to avoid loss of wire from the holes of the beads, it should be good to press from the side.
Marker is ready. The advantage of such markers in the absence of sharp ends, which can cling to the product threads.
Practical use
Before creating markers, it is advisable to figure out how to use them in the process of work.
The rings in the form of the rings are suitable for counting the loops, since they can be removed without removal and wear on the desired needle.
In the event of calculating the series and fixation of the beginning and end, the pictures are suitable for markers, which can be inserted into yarn and shoot at the end of knitting. Rings are not suitable for such work. Here are used labels with crochet or lock.
The first simply ride in a certain place. They are comfortable for knitting small things (cap, mittens).
If it is assumed to work on a large web, hooks have the property to fly during the mating process. In this case, fittings are suitable, which are put on the hinge on the principle of the hook, but have a fastener on the reverse side.
Markers with a lock can be considered universal, because they are suitable for the hinge mark in the knitted canvas and transfer from the knitting needles.

But this fastener implies an increase in the weight of the label, which is not always suitable for loose knats.
Beauty in miniature
To make markers with a lock, you will need:
- jewelry locks or carbines;
- beads, beads, minor suspensions;
- Small carnations for needlework (pins);
- Small pliers, round-rolls.
The pin is rolled up the decor elements in an arbitrary order.
It is undesirable to use a large number of jewelry in one marker, as it can overload the design and increase the weight of the product.
Pliers cut off the free end of the pin. At the same time, 0.5-0.7 mm should be left, which are subsequently bended by the roundrs, forming a miniature hook.
With the help of the created hook, the beads are attached to the carriage ring or a lock.
On the reverse side of the beads are held due to the hatch of the carnation. If you wish, during the boughing, you can remove the hat and roll the finish ends into the hooks on both sides.
At the same time, one hook is fastened with a carbine, and on the other you can define a miniature suspension.
Using a variety of decorative elements in the work, the craftsman will become the owner of the original collection of markers.
