More room for stitches, with the warm control of natural wood
These 20cm double-pointed knitting needles give growing rounds and larger stitch counts more space than a compact sock-length DPN. Choose one diameter from 2.00mm to 6.00mm for socks, sleeves, hats, mittens and other seamless knitting in the round.
Natural wood shafts combine a warm hand feel with reassuring stitch control.
20cm working length provides useful room for larger small-circumference projects.
Five needles per selected size support the traditional DPN method.
Nine diameter options cover fine sock yarn through to heavier yarns.
Wood avoids the cool feel of metal and stays comfortable through ribbing, shaping and long knitting sessions.
02
Controlled glide
The polished surface allows stitches to move while offering helpful grip for keeping several needles organised.
03
Carefully formed points
Shaped tips support clean stitch pickup for textured patterns, decreases, increases and detailed round work.

Choose by tension: begin with the diameter stated in your pattern, then work a tension swatch. Yarn weight can guide you, but the correct size is the one that produces the required fabric.
Why choose 20cm?
Useful extra room when 15cm needles feel crowded
More shaft for more stitches
The longer format gives stitches more space to sit on each holding needle. That can make adult hats, sleeves, wider socks, mittens and heavier-yarn rounds feel less crowded.
For tiny fingers, toes or very narrow tubes, a compact 15cm DPN may still feel more manoeuvrable. Needle length is a comfort choice as well as a project choice.
1
Check the circumference
Choose 20cm when the project has enough stitches to benefit from the longer shaft.
2
Match the diameter
Follow the pattern and adjust only after checking your tension.
3
Divide and knit
Spread stitches across the holding needles and use the free needle to work each section in turn.

Frequently asked questions
Prym KnitPro 20cm natural wood DPN FAQs
Does one purchase include every size?
No. Select one diameter from the product options. You will receive five needles in that selected size.
How many needles are in each set?
Each selected size contains five double-pointed needles, all 20cm long.
Are these needles bamboo?
No. This range is described as natural wood. It offers a warm feel and controlled stitch movement.
Why do Prym and KnitPro both appear on the package?
This is one dual-branded product range. You do not need to choose between separate Prym and KnitPro versions.
Are 20cm DPNs suitable for socks?
Yes. Many knitters like the extra room, especially for larger sizes or higher stitch counts. Others prefer a shorter 15cm needle for compact sock rounds.
What is the benefit of 20cm over 15cm?
The longer shaft can hold more stitches and provides more working room. The shorter option can feel less cumbersome on very narrow rounds.
Which diameter should I choose?
Start with the diameter stated in your pattern, knit a tension swatch and adjust if needed to achieve the required tension.
