CocoKnits Maker's Keep Bracelet

Cocoknits Maker's Keep

How many stitch markers have you lost to the depths of the sofa this year? Be honest. The Maker's Keep is the answer: a soft silicone slap bracelet with a brushed steel-plated magnet that keeps all your little metal bits — stitch markers, cable needles, yarn snips, a darning needle mid-mattress-stitch — clinging to your wrist exactly where you need them.

Designed by a knitter who was tired of scattering notions across every train, waiting room and holiday cottage she knitted in, it's one of those tools that sounds like a gimmick until you use it — and then you wonder how you ever managed without. Wear it while you work, or simply drop it into your project bag and let the magnet hold all your tools together in one tidy clump. The band also doubles as a quick measuring tool, with inches and centimetres marked along the reverse, and makes a brilliant line guide for keeping your place in a chart.

Why you'll love this

• Keeps stitch markers, cable needles and yarn snips to hand while you work — no more rummaging or losing things mid-row
• Any steel accessory will cling to the magnet, including the Cocoknits cable needles, row counter and stitch fixer
• Works off the wrist too — pop it in your project bag to keep every tool in one place while travelling
• Doubles as a measuring tool, with metric and imperial markings on the reverse of the band
• Unfurl it flat and use the strap as a line guide when reading patterns or charts
• One size genuinely fits all — it's a slap bracelet, which is frankly just fun
• Loved well beyond knitting: sewists use it for pins, stylists for hairpins, and we've even heard tales of fly fishers
