Choose 40cm or 50cm when the finished circular is shorter than the project circumference and the pattern recommends that length.
KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe - short tips for compact circulars
Nine colour-coded birchwood sizes, including the cables for 40cm and 50cm circulars
The KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe Special 10cm Set gives you nine polished birchwood tip pairs from 3.00 to 8.00mm, plus four short swivel cables and an organised Bordeaux case. The shorter tips are the key advantage: they combine with the included cables to create compact 40cm and 50cm circular needles for suitable hats, sleeves, cowls, baby garments and other smaller-circumference projects.
- 9 matching pairs / 18 tips cover 3.00 to 8.00mm.
- Four compact circulars include two 40cm and two 50cm finished lengths.
- Polished colour-coded birchwood offers controlled stitch movement and quick size recognition.
- End caps, cable keys and case complete the short-tip system.

Compact enough for shorter circulars, broad enough for everyday projects
Dreamz Special tips are 10cm from point to metal connector. Their shorter handhold leaves enough flexible cable to form practical 40cm and 50cm circulars, something standard 13cm tips cannot do comfortably. The laminated birchwood is polished smooth and each size has its own colour, while the tapered points support ribbing, shaping, texture and general knitting.
The set moves from 3.00mm detail work through familiar garment sizes to 7.00mm and 8.00mm projects.
Add compatible standard screw-fit tips or cables later when a pattern needs another size, length or project setup.
Nine short tip pairs, four swivel cables and the connection tools you need
Polished, colour-coded laminated birchwood interchangeable tips in nine diameters.

Nylon-coated stainless-steel cables with 360° swivel connections and silver-coloured screw fittings.
- 2 cables creating 40cm / 16in finished circulars
- 2 cables creating 50cm / 20in finished circulars
- 8 end caps
- 4 cable keys
The keys help secure each screw join. End caps let a compatible cable hold live stitches after the tips are removed.
The fitted case keeps all nine matching pairs and the cable system organised for storage, classes and travel.
Cable connectors, yarn, patterns, stitch markers, scissors, tape measure, needle gauge and finishing needles are not listed as inclusions.
Size-range note: the Deluxe set includes nine selected sizes from 3.00 to 8.00mm. It does not include 3.25mm, 3.75mm or 6.50mm.
Four cables, two compact finished lengths
40cm and 50cm are measured with the tips attached
KnitPro states the approximate finished circular length from needle point to needle point after both 10cm tips are fitted. The bare cable is therefore shorter than the number on the package. Choose a finished length that is shorter than the project circumference so the stitches can travel around the circular without stretching.
- Two 40cm circulars for suitable hats, cowls, sleeves and compact rounds
- Two 50cm circulars for broader hats, necklines, baby garments and suitable body sections
- Duplicate lengths support more than one project or section in progress
- End caps let a cable hold live stitches while its tips are used elsewhere

Need longer circulars? Compatible KnitPro cables can be added separately for larger garments, shawls, flat knitting or magic loop. Always confirm the connection family before purchasing an extra cable.
Especially useful when standard-length tips feel too long
The included 40cm and 50cm configurations are designed for compact circular knitting, but project circumference still matters. The assembled circular should sit comfortably inside the round without forcing the stitches to stretch. Needle diameter should be chosen from the pattern and confirmed with a prepared tension swatch.
Hats and beanies
Use a suitable compact circular for the main body, then change method for crown decreases when required.
Sleeves and cuffs
Work compatible circumferences smoothly in the round without the handhold of a standard 13cm tip.
Cowls and necklines
Select 40cm or 50cm when the project circumference and pattern allow the stitches to circulate freely.
Baby garments
The shorter system can suit smaller yokes, bodies and accessories when the stated measurements match.
Flat pieces
Turn the work after every row and use the circular as a flexible alternative to straight needles.
Texture and cables
Tapered wooden points support stitch entry for ribbing, cables and textured patterns.
Projects in progress
Duplicate cable lengths and end caps provide useful capacity for parked stitches and multiple projects.
Travel knitting
The compact tips and fitted case keep a broad nine-size collection together for classes and trips.
Sock-knitting note: a 40cm circular is usually too large for a typical sock tube. Depending on the pattern, use DPNs, a sock circular, two circulars, or add a suitably long compatible cable for magic loop.

How to assemble the interchangeable circular
Select the tips
Start with the pattern recommendation and use your tension swatch to confirm the required diameter.
Choose the cable
Select a 40cm or 50cm finished circular that sits comfortably inside the planned project circumference.
Tighten securely
Screw a tip onto each end, insert the key through the cable connector and give the tip a firm final hand-tighten.
Check and store
Check the joins before use, then return clean, dry tips and accessories to the case after knitting.
Protect the joins: use the supplied key for leverage, but do not use pliers or force the fitting. Guide stitches across the connector and retighten by hand if a join begins to loosen.

KnitPro Dreamz Deluxe 10cm Set FAQs
Is 200637 the correct KnitPro article number?
Yes. KnitPro article 200637 is the Dreamz Deluxe Special 10cm / 4in Interchangeable Needle Set. The product barcode is 8907628073121.
How many needle tips are included?
The set contains nine matching pairs, which is 18 individual tips, in 3.00, 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00 and 8.00mm.
Are 3.25mm, 3.75mm or 6.50mm included?
No. Only the nine listed sizes are included. Purchase another compatible KnitPro tip pair separately when a pattern requires a missing increment.
What does Special mean in the product name?
Special identifies KnitPro's shorter 10cm interchangeable tip format. It does not mean a limited edition. These short tips are designed to form compact circular lengths such as the included 40cm and 50cm options.
What are Dreamz tips made from?
The tips are made from polished laminated birchwood. Each included diameter has a different colour for quicker size recognition.
How are the cable lengths measured?
The stated 40cm and 50cm figures are the approximate finished point-to-point circular lengths after both 10cm tips are attached. They are not the bare cable lengths.
Why are there two cables of each length?
The duplicate 40cm and 50cm cables provide extra project capacity. End caps can hold live stitches on one cable while the required tips are being used elsewhere, subject to the projects needing different tip sizes.
Can I use this set for hats and sleeves?
Yes, when the selected circular is shorter than the project circumference and the included tip size produces the required gauge. Crown decreases and very small sleeve sections may still require another circular technique or DPNs.
Is this a sock needle set?
It is not specifically a sock set. A typical sock tube is too small for a 40cm circular. Socks may require DPNs, a sock circular, two circulars, or a longer compatible cable for magic loop.
Can I knit flat with these tips?
Yes. Turn the work at the end of every row just as you would with straight needles. For wide rows, add a longer compatible KnitPro cable separately.
What do the end caps do?
End caps screw onto a cable after the tips are removed, allowing live stitches to remain on the cable while the tips are used for another compatible project.
What does the cable key do?
The key fits through the hole in the metal cable end to provide gentle counter-pressure while the tip receives its final hand-tighten.
Are cable connectors included?
No. Article 200637 includes eight end caps and four cable keys, but cable connectors are not listed. Add compatible connectors separately if you plan to join cables.
Are other KnitPro tips and cables compatible?
The set is designed for KnitPro's compatible standard screw-fit interchangeable system. Check the connection family before adding mini, petite or another brand's components rather than assuming they will fit.
How should I care for the birchwood tips?
Keep the tips clean and dry, avoid prolonged soaking and harsh cleaners, and return them to the case after use. Replace any tip or cable that becomes damaged, rough or distorted.
Choose the shorter tips when hats, sleeves and small rounds are regular projects
Dreamz Deluxe 200637 combines a broad 3.00 to 8.00mm birchwood range with duplicate 40cm and 50cm cable capacity, secure screw-fit accessories and an organised Bordeaux case.
