Overview
Not a straight pair, this is a short circular bamboo knitting needle sized for small rounds of stitches. The circular form joins two tips with a connecting length so work can travel around in a ring.
Bamboo and a compact circular form make it a match for small in-the-round work. The limitation is the length, which cannot carry a wide piece, and the unlisted tip details.
Who it's for
Small tubular knitting where a short loop is needed, plus knitters who prefer bamboo. Those working large pieces or flat panels with long runs of stitches need a longer needle.
Pros and cons
- Compact circular form
- Two-piece construction listed
- Too short for wide pieces
- Tip details not listed
- Single size per needle
Performance notes
A short circular needle gathers stitches close together, so small rounds fit without stretching the work. Needle size sets stitch size and so the gauge, which must match the pattern.
