    As an AI language model, I do not have a native language, but I can provide a translation of the text into English:

    People use ring markers to “mark” pattern repeats, track decreases or increases in sections, and reduce the need to constantly count knitting stitches. If you have ever knitted in the round, your pattern instructions may say “cast on 96 stitches, place marker, then join in the round.” Markers are great, and they usually come in two forms: ring markers and split-ring markers. Open-ring markers are my preferred markers because they are usually more versatile. They can slide between stitches on the needle, just like ring markers, or be placed on a stitch to mark a point in the knitting. I often place one every ten rows in my work to avoid counting how many rows I have worked!

    If you are like me, you are always looking for a marker. They are like hairpins. You know? They are everywhere when you dont need them, and nowhere to be found when you do. When I cant immediately find one, I loop and knot some scrap yarn and make my own marker. But I also use safety pins, bent and twisted hairpins, paper clips, and those little rubber bands used for childrens weaving. The things you use dont matter as long as they are doing the job of tracking your stitches, so you dont have to do it.

    To use a marker to show your round beginning, simply place the marker on the tip of the right-hand needle and then join your work as usual. Once the piece is joined together for knitting, the marker will shuttle around the stitches between the first and last stitch of the knitting.

    As you approach the end of the round, you will notice your marker again. When you reach it, simply slide it from the left-hand needle to the right-hand needle and continue on. Its like carrying it with you as you knit. Theres no need to knit it into the work or do anything fancy with it. Just let it be there.

    You can also use markers in other places in your work to indicate different things you need to track. I recently knitted a simple hat and used a marker at each decrease point. I knew that in each round, I would knit two stitches together before each marker, and by using the marker, it showed me where my decreases should happen without having to count each stitch!

    Youll notice in the picture above that I used a “
