ChiaoGoo Red Circular 12-inch (30cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle; Size US 6 (4mm) 6012-6

LOVE!

I dislike DPNs. They get in the way of each other, though they are critical at times. So if I can get away without knitting with them I jump on the opportunity. These needles were perfect when knitting cuffs in the round.

I wish I could give more than three stars because they are very well made. I was looking forward to using the 12” circular for knitting baby caps for charity. When I measured the needle size with my Susan Bates Knit-Chek gauge, i found the #6 size was closer to a #5. I decided to go ahead and give them a trial run and discovered because of the extremely limited knitting space they were actually knitting loosely to a larger than #6 gauge and I usually knit to a tight gauge. And as someone else mentioned, I also got a cramp in my hand from manipulating them. I will give them another try, but for now, I prefer knitting small circular items with the magic loop method.

Love the red for when using two sets

They were perfect for the project I had in mind.

The perfect size for making baby hats; love it.

I love ChiaoGoo needles. Great quality.

Smooth & fast knitting with aluminum points.

I usually struggle with finishing setup for socks.

Great product. Great seller...it was shipped and delivered DAYS before promised. THANKS!!!!!
