One of those essential go-to knitting notions, stitch holders are used to put live knitting stitches on hold, keeping them safe from dropping and ready to knit from later. We offer two basic types of stitch holders: locking stitch holders (like our Brass Stitch Holder Set) and cord- or cable-based stitch holders, both of which are used to hold a number of stitches for later, often in sweater knitting. You'll also find cable stitch holders (like our Brass Cable Stitch Holders), also known as cable needles, which hold your stitches just long enough to cross them in front or behind other stitches while working a cable and then allow you to knit directly from the cable stitch holder. A beautiful and practical stitch holder can bring so much joy and convenience to your craft!
