Designed for knitters who want range without giving up a natural hand feel
Ginger tips are made from richly coloured laminated birchwood, polished smooth and shaped with tapered points. The material gives stitches more contact than highly polished metal while still allowing them to move across the shaft and join. Each size is marked on the tip, and the understated wood grain gives the complete set a coordinated look.
Two each of 60cm, 80cm and 100cm provide capacity for sections, live stitches and several projects in progress.
Add compatible standard screw-fit tips or cables later when a pattern needs a size or circular length not included here.

Size-range note: article 31281 covers 11 selected sizes from 3.50 to 12.00mm. It does not include 3.25mm, 3.75mm or 6.50mm.
Six cables, three finished circular lengths
The stated length includes both attached tips
KnitPro states the approximate finished circular length from needle point to needle point after both tips are connected. The bare cable is therefore shorter than the package measurement. Choose the finished length according to the pattern, construction and stitch count, then use the duplicates to keep additional work safely parked.
- 60cm for suitable compact-standard rounds and smaller sections
- 80cm for many garments, shawls, flat rows and magic-loop methods
- 100cm for broad rows, larger stitch counts and longer loops
- End caps let a cable carry live stitches after the tips are removed
- Cable connectors can join compatible cables for additional length

Need a 40cm or 50cm circular? Standard-length Ginger tips are too long to form those compact circumferences comfortably. Choose compatible short tips designed for shorter circulars.
Choose the tip by gauge and the cable by construction
The wide 3.50 to 12.00mm selection can cover many yarn weights, but it is not a one-size-per-yarn system. Begin with the pattern recommendation and confirm the required diameter with a prepared tension swatch. Circular needles can knit continuously in the round or work flat by turning at the end of each row.
Sweaters and cardigans
Choose a suitable cable for body sections, yokes or flat pieces as the construction directs.
Shawls and wraps
Move from 80cm to 100cm as increases and broad rows require more cable room.
Blankets and panels
The flexible cable carries wide flat rows without a long rigid needle behind the hand.
Scarves and flat pieces
Turn the work after each row and use the circular as a flexible straight needle.
Cowls
Work in the round when an included finished circular is shorter than the project circumference.
Magic loop
The 80cm or 100cm options may suit smaller circumferences when your method and pattern agree.
Texture and cables
Tapered wooden points support stitch entry for ribbing, cables and textured patterns.
Thicker-yarn accessories
The included 9.00, 10.00 and 12.00mm tips extend the set into larger-stitch projects.

How to set up the Ginger interchangeable circular
Select the tips
Start with the pattern recommendation and use your tension swatch to confirm the required diameter.
Choose the cable
Select the 60cm, 80cm or 100cm finished circular length to suit the construction and stitch count.
Tighten securely
Screw a tip onto each end, insert the key through the cable fitting and give the tip a firm final hand-tighten.
Check and organise
Check the joins before use, then return clean, dry tips and accessories to their places in the case.
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 Ginger Regal 13cm Set FAQs
Is 31281 the correct KnitPro article number?
Yes. Article 31281 identifies this 11-pair Ginger Normal Interchangeable Needle Set. The product GTIN is 8907628010874.
Is this set called Regal or Deluxe?
KnitPro's current catalogue calls article 31281 the Ginger Regal 13cm set. Some distributors and older listings call the same article Ginger Deluxe. The article number 31281 is the clearest way to identify the exact 11-pair configuration.
How many needle tips are included?
The set contains 11 matching pairs, which is 22 individual tips, in 3.50, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00, 8.00, 9.00, 10.00 and 12.00mm.
Are 3.00mm, 3.25mm, 3.75mm or 6.50mm included?
No. Only the 11 listed diameters are included. Purchase another compatible KnitPro tip pair separately when a pattern requires a missing increment.
What are Ginger tips made from?
The tips are made from polished laminated birchwood and finished in coordinated warm Ginger wood tones.
How are the cable lengths measured?
The stated 60cm, 80cm and 100cm figures are the approximate finished point-to-point circular lengths after both tips are attached. They are not the bare cable lengths.
Why are there two cables of each length?
The duplicate 60cm, 80cm and 100cm cables provide extra project capacity. You can leave live stitches on one cable with end caps fitted while using the required tips and another cable elsewhere, subject to the projects needing different tip sizes.
Can these tips make a 40cm circular?
No. Standard-length tips do not leave enough flexible cable for a practical 40cm circular. Choose compatible shorter tips designed for compact circular lengths.
Can I knit flat with this set?
Yes. Turn the work at the end of every row just as you would with straight needles. The cable carries the stitches and growing fabric.
Can I use the set for hats, sleeves or socks?
Yes when an included diameter and suitable construction method are used. Small circumferences may require magic loop, travelling loop, DPNs, two circulars or compatible short tips.
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 are the cable connectors for?
They join compatible KnitPro cables when additional working length is required. Use a key at each join and guide stitches carefully over the connected section.
How does the chart-holder case work?
The case opens to support a printed chart or pattern page, with the included magnets helping hold and track the working position. The pen can be used for record keeping away from the case surface.
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 wooden 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.
Move from everyday garments to 12mm projects without rebuilding your needle collection
Ginger Regal 31281 combines broad wooden tip coverage, duplicate cable capacity, connection tools, stitch markers and a practical magnetic chart-holder case.
