7 Knitting Stitch Marker Finds of the Week

Sep 16, 2025

One of my favorite things about knitting (besides the yarn, of course!) is collecting stitch markers. They’re small, practical tools — but they can also be tiny bursts of joy that make every project feel special. Whether you’re counting rows on a sweater, tracking lace repeats, or just trying to stay organized, the right stitch marker can bring a smile to your face every time you slip it onto your needle.

This week, I found seven charming sets that feel perfect for fall — with a playful twist at the end!

May include: Six stitch markers shaped as autumn leaves in assorted fall colors. Each marker features a gold-colored ring and colorful beads. The leaves are burgundy, orange, dark red, light green, and yellow. These charming stitch markers are perfect for knitters and crocheters.

#1 Autumn Leaves 🍂

Nothing says cozy season like leaves in a range of hues. These stitch markers will instantly bring fall vibes to your knitting, no matter what yarn you’re using.

#2 Squirrels & Acorns 🐿️

Fall’s cutest duo! These stitch markers add a woodland touch to your project bag. Perfect for sweater weather knitting with a mug of cider nearby.

May include: Five colorful sweater stitch markers hanging on a bamboo knitting needle. The stitch markers are decorated with different patterns and colors, including pink, blue, white, green, and yellow. The needle is labeled 'TAKUMI 10% 6.5mm' and 'CLOVER'.

#3 Colorful Sweaters 🧶

Mini sweaters as stitch markers? Yes, please! These are ideal for sweater knitters — like me, working on my first sweater right now. They’re cheerful and bright, and they might just inspire you to cast on another.

#4 Socks 🧦

For all the sock knitters out there (especially with Socktober right around the corner), sock-shaped markers are a must. They’ll make even second-sock syndrome a little easier to overcome.

May include: A set of 12 owl stitch markers in various colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, black, and pink. Each marker is made of ceramic and features a white owl with black eyes and a white background. The owls are decorated with colorful polka dots. The markers are displayed on wooden knitting needles.

#5 Owls 🦉

A wise addition to your notions pouch. These owl markers are equal parts cute and practical, perfect for those late-night knitting sessions when you need a friendly face.

May include: Four brown card stock tags with white string and gold metal mushroom stitch markers. Each tag has the words 'Embery Fiber' and a price tag. The stitch markers are brown, white, and gold and shaped like mushrooms.

#6 Mushrooms 🍄

Whimsical and cozy, mushroom markers bring cottagecore vibes to your needles. I can imagine these paired with a mossy green yarn for the ultimate woodland project. My oldest daughter loves mushrooms, so I would be remiss not to include these!

May include: Four colorful rubber ducky stitch markers with orange beads. The ducks are light blue, pink, yellow, and purple.

#7 Rubber Ducks 🚙🦆

Okay, hear me out. These may not scream “fall,” but I had to include them — I own a Jeep, and Jeep people know the joy of rubber ducks! Having a little duck charm as a stitch marker just feels like carrying that playful spirit into my knitting.

Which Ones Would You Choose?

Stitch markers are like jewelry for your knitting. They don’t just help with counting, they bring personality to every project. This week’s finds have me itching to add a few more to my collection (especially those little sweaters and ducks!).

Which set would you use first? Tell me in the comments — and if you’ve found a favorite stitch marker lately, I’d love to see it!
