Circular NeedlesUpdated 6 months ago

Circular needles consist of two needle tips connected by a flexible cable, allowing you to knit in the round or flat. They come in various lengths, from 9 inches (for small-circumference projects like socks) to 60 inches (for large projects like blankets). Circular needles are often used for items like hats, sweaters, and shawls.

Choosing the Right Length:

• Shorter Lengths (9–24 inches): Great for hats, cowls, or sleeves.
• Medium Lengths (32–40 inches): Ideal for the Magic Loop technique and most shawls.
• Longer Lengths (47–60 inches): Perfect for flat knitting on large pieces, like blankets.

Tip: Investing in an interchangeable circular needle set allows you to customize lengths and needle sizes, making it easier to switch needles without buying multiple individual needles.
