Comfortable straight needles for everyday flat knitting
A beautifully balanced 30cm pair in Symfonie 2 rainbow wood
Enjoy the familiar rhythm of knitting back and forth with a matching pair of 30cm KnitPro Symfonie 2 single pointed needles. The polished laminated birchwood feels warm in the hands, while tapered points, controlled stitch movement and lasting laser size markings make these a practical choice for project after project.
1 matching pair per selected size, meaning two straight needles of the same diameter.
30cm / 12in length balances useful stitch capacity with a comfortable, manageable feel.
15 sizes from 3.00mm to 12.00mm support a broad range of yarns, gauges and projects.
Rainbow laminated birchwood gives smooth movement with more surface control than very slick metal.
This is a size-selectable product, not a multi-size needle set. Your selection controls the diameter of both 30cm needles supplied.
Example: select 4.00mm / US 6
You receive two single pointed knitting needles, each 30cm long and 4.00mm in diameter. You do not receive several sizes, circular-needle cables or a storage case.
One needle holds the live stitches while the other works the next row. Turn the work at the end of each row to create flat fabric.

Symfonie, reimagined
Warm wood control with a fresh seven-colour finish
Symfonie 2 is the new generation of KnitPro's much-loved laminated birchwood collection. It retains the smooth, warm and gently grippy character knitters value in wooden needles, then adds a vivid chevron colour pattern and precision laser size identification.
Seven-colour chevron
Layers of green, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple and blue create the distinctive Symfonie 2 rainbow pattern.
Precisely tapered points
The shaped tips help you enter stitches cleanly while keeping the feel suitable for everyday knitting.
Lasting laser marking
Clear diameter identification helps you find the correct pair and return it to the right project or storage slot.
Straight-needle accuracy: cable, swivel and invisible-join features apply to selected Symfonie 2 circular products. This pair is rigid and cable-free.

Why choose the 30cm length?
A versatile middle length for everyday knitting
At 30cm / 12in, these needles offer more room for stitches than a compact 25cm pair while feeling shorter and easier to manage than 35cm or 40cm straight needles.
They are a strong all-round option for knitters who enjoy traditional straight needles and usually work small to medium-width pieces flat.
The 30cm sweet spot
Comfortable for many home and travel knitting positions
Useful capacity without an especially long shaft
Easy to see stitches across a flat row
Rigid one-piece construction with no cable to manage
Suitable for many scarves, panels and accessories
Projects that suit this length
Ideal for small to medium-width flat knitting
Scarves
Keep rows visible and supported while the fabric grows in length.
Garment panels
Work suitable fronts, backs, sleeves and children's garments flat before seaming.
Home projects
Create cushion panels, dishcloths and other practical flat pieces.
Baby knits
A manageable length for many flat baby-garment and blanket-panel patterns.
Blanket pieces
Knit squares, strips and moderate-width panels ready to join.
Capacity depends on your project: very wide or heavy pieces may be easier on a circular needle because its cable can hold more stitches and carry more fabric weight.

Choose for gauge, not only yarn weight: begin with your pattern's metric recommendation, knit a useful swatch and change needle diameter if your measured gauge requires it.

Helpful answers before you order
KnitPro Symfonie 2 30cm straight needle FAQs
How many needles do I receive?
You receive one pair, meaning two matching single pointed needles, in the size selected on this page.
Is this a multi-size needle set?
No. This listing lets you buy one 30cm pair in your chosen diameter. Multi-size sets are separate products.
Are both needles 30cm long?
Yes. Each needle has an overall length of 30cm / 12in.
What sizes are available?
The range covers 15 metric sizes from 3.00mm through 12.00mm. Check the selector for sizes currently available to order.
What are Symfonie 2 needles made from?
They are crafted from laminated birchwood in KnitPro's seven-colour Symfonie 2 chevron pattern.
How is Symfonie 2 different from the original Symfonie?
It keeps the warm laminated birchwood feel and smooth controlled surface while introducing seven rainbow colours and precision laser size markings.
Are these needles for knitting flat or in the round?
They are designed for flat knitting. Work across the row and turn the project at the end. Choose circular needles or DPNs for projects knitted continuously in the round.
Why choose 30cm instead of 35cm?
The 30cm pair feels more compact while still providing useful stitch capacity for many everyday flat projects. Choose 35cm when you want more shaft room for wider pieces.
Can I knit a blanket with them?
They suit blanket squares, strips and moderate-width panels. A wide or heavy one-piece blanket is often easier on a circular needle.
Which size should I choose?
Start with the metric size recommended by your pattern, then knit and measure a swatch. Change diameter if needed to achieve the required gauge and fabric.
Are a case, yarn or pattern included?
No. The selected item is one matching pair of 30cm needles only. A case, yarn, pattern and other accessories are not included.
