Top Team for Tiny Things - these Double Pointed Knitting Needles are pure Bliss Watching any knitter working on a sock or a glove on their set of double pointed knitting needles (Dpns) is impressive. If you have never used them before you may think that it is impossible to achieve this speed and evenness of stitching at the same time. The constant, rhythmic clicking sound the four needles make even gets you in a trance-like state. Dpns are distinguished by having points on either end and are used for knitting in the round, when the tubular item is too small for a circular needle. While single-pointed needles are packaged in pairs, double-pointed needles come in sets of four or five. Although most knitters will use four double pointed needles for a small project, you can opt for a fifth needle when your project has extra circumference, such as in a hat. They come in a range of sizes from 4 inches to 8 inches (for larger items, such as socks and beanies). You will realize you need them, when it becomes too hard to knit the round on a circular needle, like e.g. the tips of a finger glove. Transferring your work to three circular needles (or four for slightly larger rounds) will make maneuvering effortless again, and your project will grow quickly and smoothly. You never have to turn your project around, you just keep going. Are you ready for our guide into the blissful world of our very best double pointed knitting needles?
