addiNovel circular knitting needle 40 cm, square-profile tips

addiNovel 40 cm circular knitting needle – square tips for relaxed knitting

The addiNovel circular knitting needle by addi, 40 cm in total length, is designed for small projects worked in the round where the cable needs to stay short. The tips have a square cross-section with rounded edges, and the surface has the typical addi Novel texture. The needle sits comfortably in the hand, and the stitches still glide along.

The tips are made of white-bronzed brass and the cable is flexible plastic. The join between tip and cable is smooth, so stitches pass over it without catching. The needle is made in Germany.

What 40 cm is suited to

The 40 cm length includes the 90 mm needle tips. For knitting in the round, you therefore only need a few stitches on the cable. This suits small circumferences such as hat brims, cuffs, necklines, sleeves or children's clothing. For larger circumferences, use the longer 60 cm addiNovel, otherwise the work will be stretched too tightly.

Who the square shape suits

The rounded edges and textured surface are designed for relaxed knitting. They work particularly well if you knit loosely or are looking for an alternative to round needles. If you are knitting with square tips for the first time, knit a tension swatch first: what matters is the tension given in your pattern, not the needle size alone.
