Double-Pointed Knitting Needles

Classic Needle Sets for Socks and Small-Circumference Knitting

Double-pointed needles are a traditional choice for knitting small tubes in the round, including socks, gloves, sleeves and hat crowns. The needles are pointed at both ends so stitches can be worked continuously around the project.

– available in different lengths and needle sizes
– suitable for socks, gloves, sleeves and other small knitted pieces
– commonly sold in sets of four or five needles
– smooth surfaces for controlled stitch movement
– options in wood, bamboo, aluminum, steel and other materials

Choose the length and material according to your project, yarn and preferred handling. Shorter needles are useful for very small circumferences, while longer sets can hold more stitches.
