About this deal

All of this will distribute the weight of your work more comfortably, helping to prevent fatigue and injury. These warm, thick wooden knitting needles make ideal tools for arthritic hands and people who have lost mobility. The lightening struck one day way back in the early 80s when i was home sick watching a craft show and the person mentioned that they never lose their other needle using circulars. If you have any loved ones who knit (or who would love to knit) then please consider our needles for birthdays, Christmas or any special occasion. This is the type of situation where interchangeable circular needle sets really come in handy, because you can use just one pair of needles and swap out the cords.

So if it starts to feel a bit awkward knitting your blanket as it grows, you can switch to a longer cable for more comfort. I don’t like having extra, unused cord between my needle tips, because I tend to knit while watching tv on my laptop. I love interchangeable circular needles, because you can change the cable length to suit your project. I quit using straight needles years ago because I always had at least one dog laying at my side and the straight needles tended to gouge/goose the dog and he/she didn't like it.Next we are going to begin our chain, so using your thumb and pointer finger reach inside of your slip knot and grab the working yarn and pull it through the loop and that is 1 chain. If you’d like to make your own blanket pattern, I’ve got a free tutorial that will help you do just that. These are just props and not the actual size but we have already started teaching our next generation knitters. Otherwise, cast on 30 stitches approx and knit in the same stitch pattern as your blanket until you have roughly knit a square.

I hardly ever use straight needles anymore, except for casting on Chinese Waitress, which for some reason I find easier that way. Because round blankets are knit from the center out, you’ll need to cast on using something like the circular cast-on.

IDEAL FOR GIFTING - Our knitting needles are carefully packed in a lovely bright, branded Juey presentation box which is great for gifting.

This delightful Squiggle Blanket is just one of the complimentary patterns we are including in this set. For my Making Plans blanket (in yellow above) I used US size 8 knitting needles Knitter’s Pride Nova Platina circular knitting needles .

In other words, if you’re knitting a blanket that’s 48″ wide, you’ll probably choose a set of 40″ circular needles. Lighter blankets and baby shawls knit with 4 ply or fingering weight yarn need 3 – 4mm needles, most often size 3. I love this colored loop yarn and will be having a post really soon about how to make a blanket using this type of yarn, if you are looking for one. Kind of like our mittens when we were kids, that were tethered to each other so we couldn’t lose one, LOL.If you are knitting a blanket using a thinner or lighter yarn, you can get away with straight needles, but make sure the needles are extra long to hold the numerous stitches that blankets require. Knitting flat, back and forth with circular needles is the same as knitting with two straight needles… but the two needles are connected by a long cord.

However, it can become awkward to work on a large super bulky blanket and such thick, heavy blankets have limited uses. The reason I stopped using them is loss of either manual dexterity to keep ahold of the just emptied one, or lack of desire to chase it down when it eventually falls to the floor. However you want to describe them, these needles are a must-have for any of your BIG chunky wool or multi-yarn quick-knit projects. Discover free knitting patterns to download for jumpers, accessories, clothes and free blanket knitting patterns too!My first guide in my blanket knitting series is about the question I’ve asked the most: What Knitting Needles do I need For A Blanket? g. a baby shawl, sport weight and finer 4 ply (also known as fingering weight) yarns are good options.
