Colourful laminated wood with refined connections
Warm wood, joyful colour and precise sizing
Symfonie 2 brings the familiar warmth and controlled glide of laminated birchwood into seven new colours: green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple and blue.
Layered birchwood feels warmer in the hands than metal and remains lightweight.
The polished surface lets stitches move smoothly while retaining useful yarn control.
Precision markings keep the selected needle diameter clear and easy to identify.
Well-balanced tips support smooth stitch formation and precise handling across yarn types.

Gauge comes first: yarn-weight suggestions are only a starting point. Use the metric size stated by your pattern, make a useful swatch and adjust the diameter if your measured gauge differs.
More grip space for medium and larger circular projects
KnitPro calls its 13cm format Normal. These full-length tips provide more room for the hands than Special or Mini tips and work naturally with finished circular lengths of 60cm and longer.
Normal 13cm tips
Longer grip for garments, shawls, blankets, flat knitting and medium to large circumferences. Choose when the finished circular will be 60cm or longer.
Special 10cm tips
Shorter grip with the geometry needed to form compact 40cm and 50cm circulars for hats, cowls, necklines and suitable sleeves.
Mini 5cm tips
A specialised extra-short format for very compact circular systems, with considerably less gripping room than 13cm tips.
Not for a 40cm circular: two 13cm tips are too long to form a comfortable 40cm finished circular. Choose KnitPro 10cm Special tips when a 40cm setup is required.
Useful for flat work and knitting in the round
Garments
Choose a compatible cable length for sweater bodies, yokes and panels.
Shawls
Let the cable hold growing stitch counts while the wooden tips control the yarn.
Blankets
Work wider flat rows with project weight carried on the cable rather than straight needles.
Accessories
Knit scarves, larger cowls and suitable hats when the circumference matches your cable.
Magic loop
Pair with a sufficiently long compatible cable when your project and preferred technique suit.
Connect, tighten and check before knitting
Select the size
Choose the metric diameter stated by your pattern and confirm the correct variant in your cart.
Add a cable
Choose a compatible KnitPro interchangeable cable that creates the finished length your project needs.
Tighten the joins
Screw one tip onto each cable end, then use the key supplied with your cable to secure both joins.
Check the setup
Confirm the joins are firm and the stitches can travel smoothly before starting or joining in the round.
Protect the finish, points and threaded ends
Wipe the tips with a soft dry cloth and avoid soaking or harsh household cleaners.
Store matching tips together in a case instead of leaving them loose beneath heavier tools.
Never force a threaded connection. Align it carefully and stop if resistance feels uneven.
A properly tightened join is less likely to loosen while you knit.

KnitPro Symfonie 2 13cm tip FAQs
How many tips will I receive?
Quantity 1 supplies one matching pair, which is two 13cm tips in the size you select.
Is this a complete needle set?
No. This listing is for one size pair only. It does not contain multiple sizes, cables or a storage case.
Is a cable included?
No. A compatible KnitPro interchangeable cable and cable key are sold separately.
Which sizes can I choose?
The listing offers 16 sizes: 3.00, 3.25, 3.50, 3.75, 4.00, 4.50, 5.00, 5.50, 6.00, 6.50, 7.00, 8.00, 9.00, 10.00, 12.00 and 15.00mm.
How long are the tips?
Each tip measures 13cm / 5in from point to cable connector.
What does Normal mean?
Normal is KnitPro's name for the standard 13cm interchangeable format, which provides more gripping room than its Special and Mini tips.
Can these tips make a 40cm circular?
No. Two 13cm tips are too long for a comfortable 40cm finished circular. Choose 10cm Special tips when a 40cm setup is needed.
Which finished circular lengths suit these tips?
They are intended for compatible cable setups that produce finished circular lengths of 60cm and longer.
What are the tips made from?
They are made from premium laminated birchwood in the seven-colour Symfonie 2 chevron pattern.
How is Symfonie 2 different from original Symfonie?
It retains the warm laminated birchwood feel while introducing seven new colours, laser size markings and an upgraded circular system.
Are these suitable for all yarn types?
The polished birchwood is designed for smooth work across yarn types, but the correct needle diameter and resulting gauge still depend on your pattern and yarn.
Can I knit flat with them?
Yes. Once connected to a compatible cable, circular needles can work flat rows as well as rounds.
Can I use them for magic loop?
Yes, when paired with a sufficiently long compatible cable and when your project and preferred magic-loop technique suit.
Can I use these for socks?
They can be used for magic loop if the chosen size and cable suit the pattern. Fine socks often require diameters at or below the smaller end of this range.
How do I choose the correct size?
Start with the metric diameter recommended by your pattern, knit a useful swatch and adjust if needed to achieve the required gauge.
Do I need a cable key?
Yes. Use the key supplied with a compatible cable to secure the threaded joins. Finger tightening alone may allow them to loosen.
Where can I find a multi-size set?
If you want nine sizes together with cables and accessories, see the KnitPro Symfonie 2 Deluxe 13cm Set.
How should I care for the tips?
Keep them clean and dry, protect the points in a case, align threaded joins carefully and avoid heavy pressure during storage.
