The flat faces and corners give the needle a clear orientation in the hand and a more structured hold than a fully round shaft.

Why knitters choose J’adore Cubics
Unlike a conventional round needle, each J’adore Cubics shaft has four flat faces joined by softly rounded corners. The lavender laminated birchwood provides a warm, lightly grippy surface, while the tapered points support accurate entry into loops, decreases, ribbing and texture.
Layers of birchwood form a stable shaft with a smooth polished surface that holds stitches more readily than highly polished metal.
At 10cm long, the tips leave enough flexible cable to form the compact 40cm and 50cm circular lengths supplied in the case.
Needle shape is personal: some knitters prefer the reference points of a square profile, while others prefer a conventional round needle. Your finished gauge still depends on yarn, technique and individual tension, so knit a swatch before starting the project.

Black nylon-coated stainless-steel cables with 360° swivel connections and matte-gold screw fittings.
- 2 × 40cm / 16in finished circulars
- 2 × 50cm / 20in finished circulars
- 8 end caps
- 4 cable keys
The caps let live stitches remain on all four cables after the tips are removed; the keys help secure the screw-fit joins.
A purple fabric case holds the seven tip pairs and the supplied cables and accessories, ready for home storage or a knitting bag.
The fitted layout also makes it easy to see which size is in use.
Important contents correction: cable connectors are not listed as an inclusion with KnitPro article 19302. The set includes 8 end caps and 4 cable keys; a compatible cable connector must be purchased separately if one is required.
Two compact lengths, supplied twice
40cm and 50cm describe the complete needle
KnitPro states these lengths from one needle point to the other after the 10cm tips are connected. They are not 40cm or 50cm of bare cable plus the tips. The duplicate cables let more than one compact project remain assembled or safely capped.
- Choose the finished length specified by the pattern
- For knitting in the round, keep the circular shorter than the project circumference
- Use a cable key for a secure screw-fit connection
- Add a compatible longer KnitPro cable for larger projects or flat knitting
Four included cables
Two of each useful compact length
40cm × 216in finished point to point
50cm × 220in finished point to point
360° swivel connection: each cable can rotate at its fitting as the work moves, allowing it to follow the project without transferring every turn to the screw connection.
Choose the size, cable and method your pattern requires
The supplied short cables make this set particularly useful for smaller circumferences, while the interchangeable tips can also knit flat or connect to suitable longer KnitPro cables. Project suitability always depends on the pattern’s needle size, stitch count, circumference and required gauge.
Hats
A 40cm circular is commonly useful through the main body; change method as crown stitches decrease.
Sleeves
The 40cm or 50cm length can suit many sleeve circumferences when the work fits comfortably around the cable.
Cowls
Select the circular length that remains shorter than the intended finished circumference.
Children’s garments
Compact lengths can suit smaller bodies, yokes and sleeves when the construction and stitch count agree.
Baby garments
Short circulars keep modest stitch counts close without the excess cable of a garment-length needle.
Flat pieces
Turn the work at every row and let the cable carry the stitches as it would on a longer circular.
Texture & ribbing
Tapered points support accurate stitch entry for decreases, crossed stitches and patterned fabric.
Multiple projects
Four cables and eight end caps let several works in progress remain safely stored on their cables.
For small finishing rounds: a 40cm circular cannot continue indefinitely as a hat crown or sleeve narrows. Change to DPNs, travelling loop, magic loop on a compatible longer cable, or the method recommended by the pattern.

How to set up and measure Cubics tips
Select the size
Begin with the pattern recommendation and confirm the marked metric size on both matching tips.
Choose the cable
Select the finished 40cm or 50cm circular length that fits the construction and stitch count.
Tighten with the key
Screw in each tip, insert a key through the cable fitting and give the needle a firm final hand-tighten.
Swatch and store
Check gauge, then return clean, dry tips and every connection piece to the case after use.
Measuring a Cubics needle: if you use a standard needle gauge, measure the square shaft diagonally from corner to corner. This corresponds to the stated metric diameter of an equivalent round needle.

KnitPro J’adore Cubics Special Set FAQs
What is the KnitPro article number?
The J’adore Cubics Special 10cm set is KnitPro article 19302. Its GTIN is 8907628073893.
How many needle sizes are included?
The case contains seven matching pairs—14 individual tips—in 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 7.00 and 8.00mm.
Are the tips wood or metal?
The needle shafts and points are laminated birchwood with a polished deep-lavender finish. The cable fittings are metal.
What does “Cubics” mean?
It describes the cuboid or square-profile shaft: four flat faces joined by softly rounded corners, instead of the completely round shaft found on conventional knitting needles.
How do I check the size of a square needle?
Read the printed size first. When using a standard needle gauge, measure the shaft diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner; that diagonal corresponds to the stated round-needle metric size.
What cable lengths are included?
The set contains two cables that create 40cm / 16in circulars and two that create 50cm / 20in circulars after the 10cm tips are attached.
Are 40cm and 50cm the bare-cable lengths?
No. They are the approximate finished point-to-point lengths of the assembled circular needle, including both attached tips.
Why are there two cables of each length?
Duplicate lengths let two common compact configurations remain assembled or allow several projects to stay on capped cables while the tips are used elsewhere.
Are cable connectors included?
No cable connectors are listed with article 19302. The supplied connection accessories are eight end caps and four cable keys.
What do the eight end caps do?
They close both ends of all four cables after the tips are removed, keeping live stitches safely on the cables and freeing the tips for another project.
Can I use longer KnitPro cables?
Yes. Add a compatible KnitPro interchangeable cable when a pattern requires a longer circular, a higher stitch count or a magic-loop setup.
Can I knit flat with this set?
Yes. Turn the work at the end of each row as you would with straight needles; the cable carries the stitches and project weight.
Will the 40cm cable suit every hat or sleeve?
No. The project circumference must remain comfortably larger than the assembled circular, and decreasing rounds may require a different method. Follow the pattern and check stitch count and gauge.
Are these good for very fine sock knitting?
The set begins at 4.00mm, so it does not cover the small diameters commonly specified for fine sock yarn. Choose a set or individual needles with the exact size your pattern requires.
How should I care for the birchwood tips?
Keep them clean and dry, wipe them with a soft dry cloth, avoid direct sun and extreme temperatures, and return them to the case after use. Do not force the screw fittings or use pliers on the joins.
