Are you reluctant to knit with Single Pointed Knitting Needles? Don't you like to sew together the individual parts of a knitting project? Then we recommend that you work your projects with circular knitting needles. These knitting needles have many advantages, which is why many knitters only work with these. These knitting needles, which are connected to each other with a cable, come in many different sizes, strengths and variants, making them ideal for almost any project. Here in this blog we would like to explain why you should try circular knitting needles.
What types of circular knitting needles are there?
There are two types of circular knitting needles: fixed and interchangeable. While some have a fixed size and cable length, the interchangeable circular knitting needles allow different needle sizes and cables of different lengths to be combined. Exactly what you need for your current project. Then - as with every knitting project - comes the stitch cast-on. There are different ways to cast on, regardless of the type of knitting needles you have.
01. Comfortable
It is more convenient to knit with the circular knitting needles, because you don't have to turn the knitted piece at the end of each row and you can just continue knitting fluently. That way you don't lose your flow and slide from lap to lap.
02. Healthy attitude
By spreading the entire project evenly across both needles, circular knitting needles allow for a healthier posture and more relaxed arms. Another reason for the healthier attitude with circular knitting needles is that the needles are shorter. Depending on the size of your project, you don't need longer needles, just a longer cable. These are light as a feather and hardly weigh anything. This is easy on the wrists.
03. Easy to store
Thanks to their size and the flexibility of the cable, they are easy to store and fit easily in any pocket, so you can take them on the bus, train or anywhere else you go. Just pack the needles and take them with you wherever you go. So you can use every free second to pursue your hobby.
04. Knitting in one piece
If you also hate connecting and sewing the individual parts together so much, then you should try knitting a raglan sweater with circular knitting needles. These are crocheted in one piece and no sewing is necessary. Because the needles can be lengthened as desired, the sweaters can be made in the desired size. But you no longer have to connect a loop or hat, if you knit them with a circular knitting needle, these knitted pieces are seamless and knitted in one piece. Not only saves sewing but also looks much better seamlessly.
05. Suitable for both round and flat projects
Some knitters only use circular needles for circular knitting, but one of the many advantages of using circular needles is that they can be used for circular knitting as well as flat knitting. This saves you space and money. You don't need to take one of every type of knitting needle with you, you can take the circular knitting needles with you everywhere to save space and always have the right needles with you for every project.
