How to choose circular knitting needles

Choose circular needles by tip size and cable length: the tip size gives the tension, while the cable length should be a little shorter than the circumference of the tube you are knitting. Smooth, flexible joins let stitches move easily.

  • Around 40cm suits hats; 60–80cm suits sweaters; longer cables suit blankets and magic loop.
  • Metal tips are fast and slick; wood and bamboo grip stitches better.
  • Circulars also work flat, supporting heavy projects on your lap.
  • Choose a flexible cable that does not kink or twist.
