Square Fixed Circular Knitting Needles with a Firm Cable and Flat-Sided Aluminum Profile for Stitch Control
These square fixed circular knitting needles give your fingers four flat surfaces to hold while you work. The aluminum profile helps keep stitches positioned on the needle, making it a useful choice for working with slippery yarns such as silk, bamboo and superwash.
The firm cable holds its shape for controlled stitch handling, while a stainless steel swivel join lets the cable rotate as your knitting moves. A hard-coat anodized surface provides a smooth finish for stitches to travel across.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the square needle shape feel different from a round needle?
These circular knitting needles have four flat sides that rest against your fingers, spreading contact across flat surfaces rather than a round profile. The square shape also helps hold yarn in position as you work.
Does this version have a firm or soft cable?
This version has a firm cable that holds its shape for stitch control. If extra cable flexibility is your priority for magic-loop knitting, the separate soft-cable version is the more suitable choice.
Which needle sizes can I select for the 9-inch cable?
The 9-inch cable comes in US sizes 0 through 4, including US 1.5 and 2.5. The longer cable selections extend through US 11, so choose both the cable length and needle dimension for your project.
Will the cable be grey or blue?
The firm cable may be grey or blue during the supplier transition. The change is a cable color update rather than a different cable style.
