Fixed Circular Knitting Needles

Fixed circular knitting needles are the go-to choice for knitting in the round—think sweaters, socks, hats, and cowls—and they also work well for large flat projects like blankets and shawls. Our selection spans tiny lace sizes up to super bulky, in lengths from 9" to 60", from brands like addi and Lykke.

Whether you prefer wood, metal, bamboo, or carbon fiber, you'll find the right circular needle for your next project, plus matching options in our double pointed needles.

How to Choose the Right Circular Knitting Needles

Circular knitting needles consist of two tips joined by a flexible cable, and choosing the right pair comes down to matching size and length to your project. Whether you're knitting a sweater yoke or a simple cowl, the right fixed circular needle makes the work smoother and more comfortable in your hands.

Choosing a Size

Needle sizes on circular knitting needles range from very fine (US 000) for lace-weight projects up to super bulky sizes like US 50. A size 6 or size 8 circular needle suits most worsted weight patterns, while smaller sizes like size 4 work well for lighter yarns and finer fabric. Larger sizes, such as size 13, size 15, or size 19, are suited to bulky and super bulky yarns where you want fast, dramatic results.

Picking a Length

Length matters as much as size. Shorter circulars, around 16", are ideal for hats and sleeves, while 24" to 32" lengths suit sweater bodies and blankets knit in the round. Longer needles, 40" and up, are handy for magic loop knitting or large flat pieces like afghans.

Material Options

  • Wood and bamboo needles, such as those from wood knitting needles, offer warmth and grip, great for slippery yarns.
  • Metal needles glide quickly and suit cotton or smooth wool for faster knitting.
  • Carbon fiber combines light weight with flexibility, popular for larger projects.

If you knit frequently with small pattern repeats or colorwork, consider pairing your circular needles with a set from our interchangeable circular needle sets for added versatility, or explore single pointed knitting needles for flat projects.

FAQ

What size circular needle do I need? Check your pattern's gauge recommendation; it will specify a US needle size that matches the yarn weight you're using.

Can I use circular needles for flat knitting? Yes, circular needles work well for wide flat projects like blankets since they hold more stitches than straight needles.

What length circular needle should I buy? Match the cable length to your project's circumference or width; shorter cables suit hats, longer ones suit sweaters and blankets.
