A cozy, warm turtleneck, a sweater, or a pair of soft socks. Circular Knitting Needles make knitting these projects a lot easier. We’d love to tell you a thing or two about these great needles!
Circular Knitting Needles are basically always two short needles connected by a cable. In Germany, for example, people always knit with Circular Knitting Needles. Here in the Netherlands, straight knitting needles are mainly used. That’s interesting, because Circular Knitting Needles have many advantages.
Advantages of Circular Knitting Needles
They make it easy to knit in the round, but a flat piece is just as quick to make. With Circular Knitting Needles, you’re less likely to get cramps because you’re knitting ergonomically. You don’t have to hold the Knitting Needles under your arms, and you can sit comfortably upright. Because the Knitting Needles are “closed,” your work won’t slip off them.
