KnitPro SmartStix – Clever Tools That Measure as You Make
Every knitter and crocheter has had that moment: Where’s my tape measure?
KnitPro SmartStix solve that problem in the neatest possible way — by building the measuring straight into the tool itself.
They look like familiar, easy-to-use needles and hooks, but there’s a subtle difference that makes them quietly brilliant.
What makes SmartStix different?
SmartStix needles and hooks are laser-marked with measuring increments along their length. This means you can measure your work directly on the needle or hook as you go — no rummaging, no guessing, no interruption to your rhythm.
The markings allow you to:
-
Check row depth instantly
-
Measure stitch height mid-project
-
Track pattern progress accurately
-
Keep your place without stopping
It’s a small detail that makes a surprisingly big difference.
