Why choose single pointed needles?
Single pointed needles are used as a traditional pair: live stitches sit on one needle while the other works the row, then the project is turned and worked back. There are no cables or joins, and the stopper at the end of each needle helps keep stitches from sliding off the back.
The shorter overall length takes up less space than 30cm or 35cm straights and suits projects with modest row widths and stitch counts.
A shaped stopper at the back of each needle helps contain the stitches and gives every size a clearly finished, colour-coordinated end.
Flat knitting explained
These needles make pieces, not joined tubes
A scarf or rectangular panel can be used directly. A hat, sleeve, cuff or mitten made on single pointed needles must follow a flat-knit pattern and be seamed after knitting. For seamless tubes worked in the round, choose circular needles or double pointed needles instead.
- Cast all stitches onto one needle
- Work the row onto the second needle
- Turn the work at the end of every row
- Seam shaped pieces when the pattern requires it

Work RowTransfer stitches
TurnChange direction
Work BackBuild the next row
Pattern check: instructions must be written for flat knitting or adapted correctly. A pattern that says “join to work in the round” requires a different needle setup.
A different radiant colour for every needle size
Dreamz needles are made from laminated birchwood, polished to a smooth finish and marked by size. Colour coding helps distinguish the pairs quickly, while the tapered points support clean entry into stitches, decreases, increases, ribbing and texture.
Eight complete pairs—one practical straight-needle collection

The zippered case has fitted elastic holders for all eight pairs, keeping the points protected and the size range visible when opened.
Its compact footprint also makes the set convenient to store or carry.

- 5.50mm / US 9
- 6.00mm / US 10
- 7.00mm / US 10.75
- 8.00mm / US 11
The set begins at 3.50mm and stops at 8.00mm. Sizes such as 3.00, 3.25, 3.75, 6.50, 9.00 and 10.00mm are not included.
Always use the size that produces the pattern gauge rather than choosing by yarn label alone.
What is not included: yarn, patterns, stitch markers, a tape measure, needle gauge, scissors and finishing needles are not listed as contents of Dreamz Deluxe 200645.
Projects that suit the 25cm format
The usable shaft is shorter than the full 25cm overall length because the point and stopper occupy part of the needle. Choose it when the cast-on sits comfortably without bunching or pushing against the end; move to longer straights or circular needles when the row needs more space.
Scarves
Well suited to many standard scarf widths, simple textures, colourwork strips and practice pieces.
Baby garments
Use for smaller flat fronts, backs, sleeves and accessories when the pattern’s stitch count fits.
Seamed hats
Work a flat rectangle or shaped piece, then seam it according to a flat-knit hat pattern.
Seamed mittens
Choose instructions written for two straight needles and complete the stated finishing seam.
Dishcloths
The compact length is useful for many small square cloths, textured samples and household pieces.
Garment pieces
Use for narrower panels, bands and sections that do not crowd the available shaft.
Swatches
Keep multiple useful sizes ready for testing gauge, stitch patterns and yarn behaviour.
Learning projects
A traditional pair makes stitch formation and row-by-row transfer easy to observe.
Is the Dreamz Deluxe 25cm Set right for you?
A strong choice if you…
- Prefer traditional straight needles for flat knitting
- Want eight paired sizes from 3.50–8.00mm
- Like polished wooden needles with controlled stitch movement
- Want a shorter 25cm format for modest row widths
- Value size-specific colours and organised storage
- Make scarves, panels, swatches and seamed accessories
Consider another needle if you…
- Want to knit seamless tubes in the round
- Need more shaft space for wide rows or high stitch counts
- Prefer to carry project weight on a flexible cable
- Need sizes below 3.50mm or above 8.00mm included
- Prefer metal, carbon fibre, bamboo or square-profile needles
- Need interchangeable cable lengths for different projects
Should you choose 25cm, 30cm or 35cm straights?
| Feature | 25cm / 10in | 30cm / 12in | 35cm / 14in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Deluxe article | 200645 | 200646 | 200647 |
| Best reason to choose | Most compact handling and storage | Balanced everyday straight-needle length | Most shaft room for wider rows |
| Typical project scale | Smaller flat pieces and modest stitch counts | Everyday flat accessories and garment sections | Wider scarves, panels, shawls and blanket sections |
| Feel while knitting | Least needle extending beyond the hand | More working space with moderate extension | Longest reach and greatest working capacity |
| Storage | Smallest case footprint | Medium case footprint | Longest case footprint |
| Important limitation | Crowds sooner as stitch count grows | Still not ideal for very wide or heavy rows | Longer needles require more clear space around the knitter |
Choose length by row width—not body size: the 25cm set is ideal when stitches fit comfortably. For more shaft space, compare the Dreamz 30cm Set or Dreamz 35cm Set. For very wide or weighty pieces, a suitable circular needle can carry the stitches on its cable while still knitting flat.
How to choose and use the pair
Read the pattern
Confirm that the project is worked flat and note the suggested needle size, yarn, stitch count and required gauge.
Match the pair
Select two needles of the same marked size and colour, then check that both points and shafts are smooth.
Knit a swatch
Measure the washed or prepared swatch as directed and change needle size if your stitches or rows do not match gauge.
Check the cast-on
Spread stitches across the shaft. If they are compressed or press hard against the stopper, choose a longer needle.
Do not force the fit: stitch capacity changes with needle diameter, yarn thickness and stitch structure. A longer straight or circular needle is safer and easier to manage than crowding the row.

KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe 25cm Set FAQs
What is the KnitPro article number?
The Dreamz Deluxe 25cm Single Pointed Needle Set is article 200645. Its GTIN is 8907628073091.
How many needles are included?
The set contains eight matching pairs, which is 16 individual single pointed needles in total.
Which metric sizes are included?
The eight pairs are 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00 and 8.00mm.
Are 3.00mm or 6.50mm needles included?
No. The Deluxe 200645 set does not include 3.00, 3.25, 3.75, 6.50, 9.00 or 10.00mm. Purchase the required size separately or choose another set when those diameters matter.
Are these wooden knitting needles?
Yes. Dreamz needles are made from polished laminated birchwood in radiant, size-specific colours.
Does each size have a different colour?
Yes. Dreamz uses a colour-coding system so the matching pair and required diameter are easier to identify. Always confirm the printed size before casting on.
What does single pointed mean?
Each needle has one working point and a stopper at the opposite end. The pair works back and forth to make flat fabric.
Can I knit in the round with this set?
No. Single pointed needles cannot join the row into a seamless tube. Use circular needles or double pointed needles for a project worked in the round.
Can I knit hats, sleeves or mittens?
Yes, only with a pattern written for flat knitting. Work the shaped piece back and forth, then complete the stated seam. Seamless in-the-round versions require a different needle type.
Is 25cm the usable stitch-holding length?
No. 25cm is the overall needle length. The point and end stopper occupy part of it, so the straight working shaft is shorter.
How many stitches fit on a 25cm needle?
There is no fixed number. Capacity depends on needle diameter, yarn thickness and stitch structure. Stitches should sit comfortably without being crushed together or forced against the stopper.
Can I knit a blanket with this set?
You can make smaller blanket squares, strips or narrow sections. A wide blanket row will usually suit longer straight needles or a suitable circular needle used back and forth.
Are straight needles suitable for beginners?
They can be a clear way to learn cast-on, knit, purl, increases, decreases and turning rows. The best needle is still the one that matches the chosen beginner pattern and yarn.
Should I choose 25cm, 30cm or 35cm?
Choose 25cm for compact handling and modest stitch counts, 30cm for more everyday working room, or 35cm when wider rows need more shaft space. Very wide or weighty projects may be easier on a circular needle used flat.
How should I care for the birchwood needles?
Store them in the case, keep them away from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth after use. Do not bend the needles or use them for anything other than knitting.
Make flat knitting beautifully simple
From a first tension swatch to a favourite seamed accessory, the Dreamz Deluxe 25cm set keeps eight polished birchwood sizes organised and ready for the next back-and-forth project.
