Knit small circumferences in KnitPro's new rainbow wood
Five compact needles, one seamless round at a time
Knit socks, sleeves, mittens, baby garments and shaped crowns with 15cm Symfonie 2 double pointed needles. Select the diameter your pattern requires and receive five matching laminated birchwood needles with smooth surfaces, tapered points and clear size markings.
5 individual needles per selected size, enough to work with four or five DPNs as your pattern directs.
15cm / 6in length keeps the tips compact around smaller projects.
2.25mm to 5.00mm options cover fine socks through many DK and worsted-weight projects.
Rainbow laminated birchwood provides a smooth, gently grippy alternative to polished metal.
This product page has a size selector. It is not the boxed multi-size Symfonie 2 DPN set. Your selection controls the diameter of all five needles in the pack.
Example: select 3.25mm / US 3
You receive five 15cm double pointed needles, each measuring 3.25mm in diameter. The pack does not contain five different sizes.
Many patterns arrange stitches across three or four holding needles and use the remaining needle to knit. A five-needle pack supports either common arrangement.
5
individual DPNs
One matching diameter, pointed at both ends, with no cable and no interchangeable connection.

Symfonie, reimagined
What is new about Symfonie 2?
Symfonie 2 is KnitPro's new generation of its well-known laminated birchwood range. The DPNs retain the warm wood feel and controlled yarn movement many knitters choose wood for, while introducing a new seven-colour chevron design and precision size markings.
Seven-colour chevron
Green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple and blue layers create the distinctive Symfonie 2 rainbow pattern.
Precision size marking
The needle diameter is clearly marked to help identify the pack between projects.
Polished laminated wood
The birchwood is layered for strength and finished to support smooth stitch movement with more surface grip than highly polished metal.
Correct name: KnitPro calls this new-generation collection Symfonie 2.
A closer look
The same rainbow design from point to point
Each selected size is supplied as five matching 15cm DPNs.The laminated birchwood carries the seven-colour Symfonie 2 chevron pattern.Product photography may show another diameter; use the size selector for the pack supplied.
What are double pointed needles?
A cable-free way to knit a small tube
DPNs are pointed at both ends so stitches can be worked continuously around a small circumference. The live stitches are shared across several needles, while another needle works the next section.
Because there is no cable or fixed circular length to match, DPNs adapt naturally as a sock toe narrows, a sleeve begins at the cuff or a hat crown decreases.
Five needles, flexible arrangement
Patterns commonly distribute stitches across three or four needles. The fourth or fifth needle then works the stitches. Follow the pattern's preferred setup.
Small rounds, neat possibilities
Projects that suit 15cm DPNs
Socks
Work cuffs, legs, heels and shaped toes without changing to a cable-based method.
Mittens
Manage small hand circumferences, thumbs and top shaping with compact needles.
Sleeves
Begin at narrow cuffs or finish top-down sleeves as the pattern directs.
Hat crowns
Move from a circular needle to DPNs when decreases make the circumference too small.
Baby knits
Create small sleeves, legs, hats and other suitable seamless details.
Capacity matters: 15cm needles are deliberately compact. For a large number of stitches, a wider tube or a heavier project, longer DPNs or a circular method may feel more secure.

Choose for gauge, not only yarn weight: start with the pattern's metric needle size, knit a useful swatch and adjust if your measured gauge requires it. Sock, 4 ply, DK and worsted labels do not determine one universal needle size.
Is the 15cm length right for you?
Compact control with a practical limit
A particularly good choice if you...
Knit socks, mittens, sleeves or baby garments
Prefer DPNs to magic loop for small rounds
Want enough needles for a four- or five-DPN arrangement
Prefer the controlled movement of polished wood
Want compact needles for a portable project
Need a replacement or additional size rather than a multi-size set
Consider another format if you...
Want several sizes together in a storage case
Need more shaft length for many live stitches
Prefer one long circular for magic loop
Want a fixed small-circumference circular
Prefer the faster glide of highly polished metal
Need a needle diameter outside 2.25mm to 5.00mm
Choose the small-circumference method that suits you
DPNs, magic loop or a short circular?
This product
15cm double pointed needles
Five separate needles, no cable and no fixed minimum circumference. Especially adaptable through toes, thumbs and crown decreases.
Magic loop
Uses one long flexible circular needle. It keeps all stitches on one tool but requires the cable loops to be repositioned as you work.
Short circular
Uses one compact fixed circular. It can be quick for an even tube, but its circumference must suit the project and decreases may still need another method.
No method is universally best: the right choice depends on your hand position, project circumference, stitch count, yarn and pattern construction.
A calm start with five needles
Four practical steps for using DPNs
Cast on and divide
Cast on the pattern's stitch count, then distribute the stitches evenly across three or four needles.
Check the round
Lay the needles down and confirm the cast-on edge is not twisted before joining to work in the round.
Knit with the free needle
Work across one holding needle at a time. The emptied needle becomes the working needle for the next section.
Manage the joins
Snug the first stitches at each change and occasionally shift the change points if visible ladders begin to form.
Simple care for laminated birchwood
Keep the points smooth and the set together
Keep clean and dry
Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not soak wooden needles or use harsh household cleaners.
Store all five safely
Return the complete pack to a needle case or sleeve so the points and size marking are protected.
Inspect before use
Do not continue with a needle that has become cracked, deeply roughened or damaged at a point.
Five separate rigid needles with no cable or connector
Primary use
Small-circumference knitting in the round
Not included
Multiple diameters, storage case, yarn, pattern or project accessories
Questions before choosing your size?
KnitPro Symfonie 2 15cm DPN FAQs
How many needles do I receive?
You receive five individual double pointed needles in the one size selected on this product page.
Does the pack contain five different sizes?
No. All five needles have the same diameter. For example, selecting 3.25mm supplies five 3.25mm needles.
Is this the boxed multi-size Symfonie 2 DPN set?
No. This listing lets you buy one five-needle pack in your chosen size. The boxed multi-size sets are separate products.
What is the correct range name?
KnitPro's customer-facing collection name is Symfonie 2. The existing product-page address can stay unchanged.
What does DPN mean?
DPN means double pointed needle. Each rigid needle has a working point at both ends, allowing stitches to be worked continuously around a small tube.
Why are five needles included?
Some patterns hold stitches on three needles and knit with a fourth, while others hold stitches on four and knit with a fifth. A five-needle pack supports both arrangements.
Are these needles 15cm long?
Yes. Each individual needle is approximately 15cm / 6in long.
Which sizes are available?
The current selector covers 2.25mm through 5.00mm in ten metric sizes. Check the selector for the sizes currently available to order.
What are the needles made from?
They are made from laminated birchwood in the seven-colour Symfonie 2 chevron pattern.
Are the size markings printed on the needles?
Symfonie 2 uses precision size identification. Keep the set together and use a needle gauge if a marking ever becomes difficult to read.
Are these good for socks?
Yes. The compact 15cm length is well suited to many sock patterns. Choose the metric diameter required to achieve the pattern gauge.
Can I use them for sleeves and hats?
Yes. They are useful for narrow sleeves and for hat crowns once decreases make a circular needle too long for ordinary rounds.
Can beginners use DPNs?
Yes, although managing several needles can take a little practice. Start slowly, keep unused needle points resting against the work and follow a pattern or tutorial that shows how to divide the stitches.
How do I reduce ladders between needles?
Keep even tension at each needle change, snug the first one or two stitches and occasionally move the change point so it does not remain in the same column.
Does the photographed size determine what I receive?
No. The product photographs are representative. The variant selected in the size menu determines the diameter supplied.
How should I choose a needle size for my yarn?
Use the pattern's metric recommendation as your starting point, then make a swatch and adjust the diameter if needed to achieve gauge and the fabric you want.
How should I care for the needles?
Keep them clean and dry, avoid soaking and harsh cleaners, protect the points in storage and do not use a needle that has become cracked or rough.
