Wearables are provided that prevent—or at least greatly reduce the risk of—mosquito bites by having repellent within the mesh tightly bonded into the actual fibers of the fabric, thereby providing built-in protection from mosquitoes, ticks and other potentially dangerous biting insects. These wearables may be both practical and fashion-forward in design so that humans will be less likely to object to wearing them. Wearables may include track suits, jackets and wraps; however, wearables may take different forms, including but not limited to, pant coverings, wrist bands, hats, scarves, and patches. These wearables may be worn when participating in various outdoor activities, including, but not limited to, playing, bike riding, and camping. These wearables also may be breathable and easy to put on and take off, as well as appealing in appearance.

In some embodiments, a stitch marker comprises a body that defines a first enlarged opening and a second enlarged opening. The first enlarged opening is larger than a cross-sectional size of an associated stitching device, such as a knitting needle. The second enlarged opening is larger than the cross-sectional size of the stitching device.

A sock ruler 101, useful for knitting socks and other garments, features a curved heel section 120 that includes an apex 123 and two termination points 125 that are connected to a straight section 130. The straight section ends at a flat end section 190. Distance markings 110 may be found and spaced along the lengthwise portion 113, while the distance markings are written across the width 115 of the sock ruler. The curved heel section has a concave shape useful in knitting classical sock components such as sock cuffs 210 and sock heel flaps 230. The curved heel section allows the sock ruler to stay within a sock during sock knitting, making the distance markings readily available.
