Safety Pin Tips

When making a long foundation chain, place a safety pin in after a designated number of stitches to keep count easily.
When crocheting in a spiral (or where rounds are not joined), place a saftey pin at the beginning of the new round to keep track. Move the safety pin to each new round as you work.
When working afghans or similiar patterns, place a safety pin after a designated number of rows to keep track easily.
Use safety pins to

mark where corner increases are made to avoid mistakes.
When through working, place a safety

pin in the last stitch worked to keep stitches intact.
