Smooth satin finish
The satin-sheen surface lets stitches move cleanly while reducing the bright glare of highly polished metal.

Useful extra at the fine end: the 2mm / US 0 set is included. That makes the set suitable for very firm sock fabric and patterns that call for a smaller needle for cuffs or ribbing.
A direct way to knit small circumferences
No cable to pull through
Double-pointed needles form a flexible ring from straight needles. Your live stitches are divided across the working needles, and another needle knits the next section.
Many sock knitters like DPNs because the work stays compact and decreases can be arranged naturally around the round.
Cast on and divide
Distribute the stitches evenly across the number of needles your pattern recommends.
Join in the round
Keep the cast-on edge untwisted, then use a free needle to work across the first section.
Rotate as you knit
After each section, the empty needle becomes the working needle for the next group of stitches.

Needle gauge
An included gauge helps confirm the size of an unlabelled needle or check your tools at a glance.

Labelled storage sections organise each size, with an exterior zip pocket for the accessories.
Made to travel
Compact storage for every size
The floral fabric case folds closed around the full fine-needle range, while the exterior zip pocket keeps the gauge and stitch markers separate from the points.

ChiaoGoo DPN sock set FAQs
How many needle sizes are included?
Six complete size sets: 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3 and 3.25mm.
Is 2mm / US 0 included?
Yes. The range begins at 2mm / US 0 and ends at 3.25mm / US 3.
How long are the needles?
Each double-pointed needle is 15cm / 6 inches long.
What are the needles made from?
Surgical-grade stainless steel with ChiaoGoo’s smooth satin-sheen finish.
Are the sizes printed on the needles?
The size is permanently laser imprinted, which helps it remain readable through regular use.
What else comes in the case?
Twelve stitch markers and a needle gauge are stored with the six needle size sets in the zippered fabric case.
Can I use this set for projects other than socks?
Yes. DPNs suit many small rounds, including mittens, gloves, cuffs, sleeves, baby items, toys and hat-crown decreases, provided the pattern calls for one of the included sizes.
How do DPNs differ from MINI Shorties?
DPNs divide the round over straight needles and have no cable. MINI Shorties form very small circular needles with interchangeable tips and cables. The better method is the one that feels most natural in your hands.
Are stainless-steel DPNs slippery?
They provide a smoother glide than bamboo. The satin sheen is less mirror-polished than some metal needles, but bamboo may suit you better if you prefer more surface grip.
Six fine sizes. Smooth steel. No cable.
