🧶 CHIAOGOO 40-Inch Red Lace Stainless Steel Circular Knitting Needles - Versatile 8/5mm Size Review

I had a shorter set for making hats but when you get to the top of the hat the shorter set gets tight. I ordered this longer set so I could conveniently tie the hat off with a magic bow.

There is no "jamming" where the fishing line connects to the needles, the stitches slide effortlessly. This alone saves me time on my old needles. I'm working on a complex pattern with lots of cables and the tips of these…

I love Chiagoo circular needles and already have quite a complete set! works well with Magic Loop and also works if you're knitting 2 socks, mittens or sleeves at the same time (although the 60 inches is a little better for that).
