Lazadas | Stitch Markers for Decreases (K2tog and SSK)

Do you lose track of your place when working decreases? These helpful stitch markers for decreases are perfect for working on any knitting projects that use SSK or K2tog decreases, especially when they are worked in mirrored pairs.

What do these abbreviations mean?

• K2tog: knit two stitches together
• SSK: slip next 2 stitches knitwise one at the time. Pass them back into the left needle, then knit through back loops together.

Makes a great gift for a knitter or a great treat for yourself!

• Set includes 4 stitch markers: 2 each K2TOG and SSK
• Colours are chosen at random, each set contains 2 markers each in 2 colours
• Locking markers fit up to US 10 (6.5 mm) knitting needles

Why We Love Stitch Markers for Decreases

If you’ve read How To Use a Stitch Marker: Your Ultimate Guide, you know that stitch markers make knitting and crochet easier. And these stitch markers make it easier to track your place when you are working M1L and M1R increases! Each marker has a cutout of the abbreviation for a decrease.

These markers are locking markers, which means you can use them on your needle like a normal stitch marker, or you can clip them into a particular stitch and use it to count rows since you last worked that increase, great for shaping over many rows. They transfer smoothly between needles when knitting and won’t damage or scratch bamboo or wooden needles. And because they lock and unlock, they also work for crochet! (The abbreviations may not be relevant, but sometimes you just need a stitch marker!)

About Lazadas

Astrid Lapidus founded Lazadas because she couldn’t find knitting accessories that were pretty enough for her tastes. She describes herself as an “obsessive knitter with more UFO’s than a life time,” which is something many of us can identify with!
