Build the small circular needle your project needs
Knit sleeves, cuffs, hats, baby knits and other suitable small circumferences with a pair of extra-short KnitPro Symfonie 2 interchangeable tips. Choose the diameter your pattern calls for, add a compatible cable and enjoy the warm control of polished rainbow laminated birchwood.
1 matching pair per selected size, meaning two 5cm interchangeable tips of the same diameter.
Genuine 5cm / 2in mini format designed for small-circumference circular knitting.
9 sizes from 3.00mm to 6.00mm support many fingering, sport, DK and worsted-weight projects when gauge agrees.
Rainbow laminated birchwood feels warm, light and controlled in the hands.
Choose one diameter and receive one matching tip pair
This listing is for individual mini tip pairs. It is not the seven-size Symfonie 2 Mini Interchangeable Needle Set.
Example: select 4.00mm / US 6
You receive two 5cm Symfonie 2 interchangeable tips, each 4.00mm in diameter. Attach one tip to each end of a compatible KnitPro cable to create one circular needle.
You do not receive a cable, end caps, cable key, storage case or additional sizes.
2
matching wooden tips
One diameter, two threaded interchangeable connections and the compact 5cm handhold required for true mini circulars.
Essential extra: these tips cannot be used by themselves. Add a compatible KnitPro interchangeable cable. For 27cm and 30cm finished circulars, choose the Mini Fixed Cable Set sold separately.
Small tips with a specific purpose
Why the 5cm format matters
Standard 10cm and 13cm interchangeable tips need more room to form a circular. These 5cm tips reduce the rigid section at each side, allowing specially designed mini cables to curve naturally around much smaller projects.
Compact circular control
Keep narrow rounds close to the fingertips without a long loop of cable passing through the work.
Alternative to DPNs
For a compatible circumference, two mini tips and one cable replace the need to manage several double pointed needles.
Portable project setup
The short tips take very little space in a project bag and are easy to add one size at a time.
Symfonie, reimagined for shorties
Warm wood feel in a vivid seven-colour chevron
Symfonie 2 retains the polished laminated birchwood character of the original Symfonie range and adds a refreshed rainbow design with precision laser size identification.
The smooth surface supports easy stitch movement while the natural wood provides more surface control than very slick metal. Precisely shaped points help enter stitches cleanly, and the light construction suits fingertip-led mini knitting.

Compact projects these tips can unlock
Sleeves
Work suitable lower sleeves and cuffs without a long magic-loop cable.
Hats
Choose a finished cable length that sits comfortably inside the hat circumference.
Socks
Useful for compatible sections and stitch counts when the finished circular is shorter than the knitting.
Baby knits
Ideal for selected small garment sections and baby accessories worked in the round.
Mittens
A compact alternative for suitable mitten sections and hand circumferences.
Toys
Work small tubular pieces where the pattern and circumference suit a mini circular.
Fit the circumference, not only the project name: the finished circular needle must be shorter than the knitted circumference so stitches can travel around it without stretching. Very tiny sections may still need DPNs or magic loop.

Choose for gauge: begin with the metric diameter in your pattern, knit a useful swatch and change size if needed to reach the required gauge and fabric.
Cable compatibility made clear
Add the cable that creates the circular length you need
The threaded connections are part of the KnitPro interchangeable system. Cable length and construction determine the completed needle length and whether the connection is fixed or swivelling.
For genuine 27cm and 30cm mini circulars
Pair these tips with the separate KnitPro Mini Fixed Cable Set:
Article 10660: black nylon-coated stainless steel mini cable set
Article 10640: blue nylon mini cable set
Each set contains the two mini cable lengths plus 2 end caps and 1 cable key
The two cables create 27cm and 30cm finished circular needles after compatible tips are attached
Shown for compatibility only. Cable set not included.
Do not promise a swivel from the tips: the tip pair has a threaded connection, but cable rotation depends on the separate cable selected. The Mini Fixed Cable Set is non-swivel.
Choose mini tips for their compact grip
A specialist format that many small-round knitters love
A particularly good choice if you...
Regularly knit suitable small circumferences
Want to build one mini needle size at a time
Prefer warm wooden tips over metal
Use a light fingertip grip
Want an alternative to DPNs or magic loop
Already use compatible KnitPro cables
Consider another format if you...
Prefer a long tip resting across the hand
Mainly knit ordinary flat pieces
Need diameters below 3.00mm or above 6.00mm
Want cables and several tip sizes included together
Need to work a circumference smaller than your completed mini circular
Prefer slick metal or stainless steel
Understand the three Symfonie 2 tip lengths
Mini 5cm, Special 10cm or Normal 13cm?
This product
Mini 5cm / 2in
The shortest grip for compact small-circumference circulars. Choose when the project genuinely needs the smallest compatible geometry.
Special 10cm / 4in
A short tip with more hand support, commonly used to build a 40cm circular for hats, necklines and other compact rounds.
Normal 13cm / 5in
The longest interchangeable tip for general circular and flat knitting where comfort and leverage matter more than minimum circumference.

Helpful answers before you order
KnitPro Symfonie 2 Mini tip FAQs
How many tips do I receive?
You receive one matching pair, meaning two 5cm tips, in the diameter selected.
Is this the complete seven-size mini set?
No. This listing lets you buy one individual size. The multi-size Symfonie 2 Mini Interchangeable Needle Set is a separate product.
Is a cable included?
No. A compatible KnitPro interchangeable cable, end caps and cable key are sold separately unless specifically stated in another product bundle.
Which cable should I buy for the smallest circulars?
Choose the KnitPro Mini Fixed Cable Set to create 27cm and 30cm finished circulars. Article 10660 is the black nylon-coated stainless steel version and 10640 is the blue nylon version.
Do the tips themselves swivel?
No. Swivel or fixed behaviour belongs to the cable connection. The Mini Fixed Cable Set uses fixed, non-swivel connectors.
Can these tips knit ordinary flat projects?
Interchangeable circulars can work back and forth, but the 5cm handhold is designed principally for compact circular knitting. Most knitters will find 10cm or 13cm tips more comfortable for ordinary flat projects.
Are mini tips suitable for everyone?
They suit knitters comfortable with a light fingertip grip. If you brace a needle across the palm or want more leverage, a 10cm or 13cm tip may feel better.
Can I use them for any sock, sleeve or hat?
Not automatically. The completed circular must be shorter than the knitting circumference and must hold the required stitch count comfortably. Check the pattern and project measurements first.
How should I choose the diameter?
Start with the metric size recommended by your pattern, knit a swatch and change diameter if needed to achieve the required gauge.
How should I care for the tips?
Keep them clean and dry, avoid soaking and harsh cleaners, use the correct cable key rather than pliers, and protect the wooden points in storage.
