The markers for the project you show people
There is a reason the boutique yarn world is full of tiny enamel animals: markers are the one notion you look at hundreds of times per project. Every round, your eye finds the marker. Making that marker a small cat dangling off a gold clasp costs nothing in function and pays every single row.
Each motif is a themed set on its own display card. The counts differ by motif because the charms differ in size — the cats are almost two inches long, so five make a set; the smaller daisies, shells and starfish come seven or eight to a card. Every charm hangs from the same gold-tone lobster clasp: squeeze the gate, clip it into a stitch or over the needle, release, locked.
Buyers use them two ways. As working markers, obviously. But also as the "special" set that lives on the current showpiece — the shawl that comes to knit night — while a 50-pack of plain locking markers handles blankets and swatches at home. At $14.99 a set, both roles are covered without guilt.
One honest note: the supplier's card in the packaging carries the manufacturer's own mark, as our unedited buyer photos show. What matters to us is what is on the clasp, and the enamel work here is the same quality sold in boutique notions shops at two to three times the per-charm price — see the comparison on our marker styles page.
Four sets, four moods, exact counts
| Motif | Charms per set | Charm size | The mood |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hanging Cats | 5 | 0.55 x 1.93 in | Five cats dangling by their front paws — tabby, tuxedo, calico. The crowd favorite. |
| Daisies | 7 | 0.59 x 1.38 in | White, yellow, blue, red, purple enamel petals. Cottagecore in marker form. |
| Starfish | 8 | 0.59 x 1.38 in | Eight colorways from deep red to sea blue. The biggest count in the range. |
| Pearl Shells | 7 | 0.55 x 1.26 in | Enamel scallop shells, each holding a faux pearl. The elegant one. |
Counts and dimensions are the supplier's published specs for each card — the same numbers printed on the listing we source from. If a motif ever changes count, this table changes with it.

Our count check: before writing this page we verified every motif's charm count against the supplier's own card photos — 5 cats, 7 daisies, 8 starfish, 7 shells. The counts genuinely differ per motif, so we print them per motif instead of advertising one number that would be wrong three times out of four.
Keeping enamel markers pretty
Enamel over metal is durable in normal use: clip, knit, unclip. Three habits keep sets looking new for years. Store them on their card or in a small tin rather than loose with metal tools, so the enamel faces do not rub against needle tips. Keep them dry — the gold-tone finish, like most jewelry plating, prefers not to be blocked with the shawl. And on fuzzy fibers, clip to the fabric surface rather than deep between stitches so the dangle cannot wind itself into mohair halo.
If you are gifting a set, gift a technique with it: our guides on using stitch markers and what stitch markers do make good companions for a new crafter, and the knitter and crocheter gift guides round out the parcel. Add a row counter and you have built the complete notions kit.
Charm set questions
How many charms are in each set?
It depends on the motif, because the charms differ in size: Hanging Cats has 5 charms (they are the largest, 0.55 x 1.93 in), Daisies has 7, Pearl Shells has 7, and Starfish has 8. The exact count is shown on each motif when you select it — no surprises at delivery.
Are these real stitch markers or just charms?
Real markers. Each charm hangs from a gold-tone lobster clasp — the same spring-gate clasp used on jewelry — which clips into a stitch or onto a needle and locks shut. They mark rounds, repeats and shaping exactly like our plain locking markers, just prettier.
Which motif do you choose in a 2-set or 3-set order?
You choose each set individually. Pick the 2-set or 3-set option and a motif selector appears for every set in your pack — mix two different motifs, or double up on your favorite. Your exact combination is attached to the order at checkout.
Will the charms catch on my yarn?
The enamel faces are smooth and the clasps are the rounded jewelry type without a coil. On most yarns they hang cleanly below the work. For very fuzzy yarns like mohair, any dangling marker can catch fibers — on those projects, clip the clasp into the fabric so the charm hangs on the front rather than between stitches.
Are they heavy enough to distort fine stitches?
A full set weighs about 0.7 oz (20 g), so an individual charm weighs a few grams. On lace-weight yarn, hang them on the needle or clip them to the fabric edge rather than into a single delicate stitch. On fingering weight and up, buyers use them anywhere without issues.
Do they make a good gift for a knitter or crocheter?
They are one of the safest gifts in yarn craft: no sizes, no fiber preferences, no colorway opinions to get wrong. Each set arrives on a display card. If you are gifting, the 2-set and 3-set bundles let you cover two crafters — or one crafter and yourself. Our gift guides for knitters and crocheters have more ideas.
