Crochet hack !!!!

Hi guys !!!

So the other day i was on youtube and i found this hack and i just tried it and it works !!!

So you know when you stop doing a project, your taking it with you somewhere or your doing the saftey eyes / stuffing, sometimes you work starts to come undone and you have no idea if your in the right place. When you take you hook out place a stich marker ( one that locks) through the loop and it wont come undone !!!

Its amazing !!!

Anyway have a good day !!!

I go one further and also loop the stitch marker through a stitch so the yarn doesn’t pull up like the pic and potentially loosen some of the most recent stitches.

lol that takes too much work for me, plus i have ways to identify the first stitch of the round so i never use stitch markers anyway (unless i’m making something REALLY big or with chenille yarn)

How do you identify the first stich?!

Well, since I like to pause at the end of the round, and I do use stitch markers, I just add the working loop to what my stitch marker is already through, so not so much work for me.

I see your point though if you have to scramble around to find one to use it.

is your method to look at the last increase in the increase rounds, move your finger in a slight angle to left until you get the a stitch in the sc rounds, and then assign where to place your stick marker?
just curious cuz you haven’t revealed your :sparkles:method​:sparkles: to the public yet hehe :pleading_face:

You put the stitch marker in on you crochet when you finish a round or row so that you know where to stop and start. What I personally do is put it in the working loop that you will use on the first stitch of the next row.

yes, but it’s slightly more exact than js “tracing your finger to the left” XD also i move my finger to the right i think?? not the left… as a RH crocheter. i also have another method that’s basically js finding the first stitch in R2 and tracing your finger to the right to find the first stitch. so yeah. and LOL that would require me to rewrite it bc i wrote it in chat and it DELETED and i forgot to copy and paste it to a doc. sigh. :sob:
