What Are 40cm Circular Needles Used For?
The compact 40cm / 16" length is a popular choice for knitting smaller circumferences in the round. It is particularly useful for:
- Adult and children’s hats
- Cowls and neck warmers
- Sweater necklines and collars
- Children’s garments
- Small bags and accessories
- Upper sleeves and other suitably sized circular sections
- Flat knitting projects with a smaller number of stitches
Choosing the correct length: When knitting in the round, the circumference of your project should be slightly larger than the 40cm needle so the stitches can move comfortably around the cable.
