Create compact circular needles for socks, sleeves, hats and other small-circumference projects with ChiaoGoo TWIST 8cm interchangeable needle tips.
Precision-machined from surgical-grade stainless steel, these short tips feature ChiaoGoo’s smooth satin finish and finely tapered points. They provide excellent control for detailed knitting while allowing stitches to glide easily without feeling overly slippery.
At just 8cm long, these tips are designed for use with shorter interchangeable cables to create compact circular needles. They are ideal for knitters who prefer working continuously in the round rather than using double-pointed needles or the magic loop method.
Each pack contains one pair of 8cm tips in the selected needle size. Cables are sold separately, allowing you to choose the length that best suits your project.
Choosing the Correct Connection Size
ChiaoGoo interchangeable tips use different connection sizes depending on the needle diameter.
MINI [M] connection:
- 2.75mm / US 2
- 3.00mm / US 2.5
- 3.25mm / US 3
SMALL [S] connection:
- 3.50mm / US 4
- 3.75mm / US 5
- 4.00mm / US 6
- 4.50mm / US 7
- 5.00mm / US 8
Please make sure your chosen cable has the same connection size as the tips. MINI [M] and SMALL [S] connections are not directly interchangeable.
Recommended Cable Pairings
Use these 8cm tips with compatible ChiaoGoo MINI [M] or SMALL [S] cables.
Short cables can be used to create compact circular needles for socks, sleeves, cuffs, hats, baby garments and other small projects worked in the round.
The finished circular needle length includes both tips and the cable. For example, two 8cm tips combined with a 15cm cable create an approximately 31cm circular needle.

Why Knitters Love ChiaoGoo TWIST Tips
ChiaoGoo TWIST tips are known for their balance of smoothness, precision and control. The satin-finished stainless steel surface allows stitches to move comfortably while still providing enough grip to help prevent accidental slipping.
The tapered points make it easier to work decreases, increases, cables, lace patterns and detailed stitches. Their compact length is especially useful for knitters making socks, cuffs and sleeves who want to work continuously in the round.
