These are my favorite stitch markers that I own. They are a pretty brass color and unike other stitch markers that are usually round, these are a hexagon shap in reference to honeycomb. I use stitch markers very often with my knitting projects, as they are helpful for marking important stitches.
There are many ways stitch markers can help you keep track of your stitch pattern. Most often I use stitch markers to keep track of where I increase and/or decrease stitches on my garment. Another way that stitch markers are used is to mark a stitch pattern repeat, like for colorwork, cables, or texture.
