Designed for knitting small circumferences, the ChiaoGoo Knit RED 23cm Fixed Circular Knitting Needles are an excellent choice for socks, cuffs, mittens, baby garments, narrow sleeves and other compact projects.
These short circular knitting needles combine smooth surgical-grade stainless steel tips with ChiaoGoo’s flexible red cable. The memory-free cable is made from multiple strands of steel coated in red nylon, creating a smooth surface that allows stitches to move easily from the cable to the needle tips.

Made for Small Knitting Projects
The short 23cm circumference allows you to knit narrow tubular sections without using magic loop or double-pointed needles. They are particularly useful for projects such as:
- Socks and sock cuffs
- Gloves and mittens
- Baby sleeves and garments
- Small adult sleeves
- Hat crowns and other narrow sections
Short circular needles can feel different from standard-length circulars, particularly if you have larger hands. Once familiar with the compact grip, many knitters find them a fast and convenient way to work small circumferences.
