ChiaoGoo RED 16" Stainless Steel Fixed Circular Knitting Needles

ChiaoGoo RED 16-inch (40 cm) fixed circular knitting needles pair surgical-grade stainless steel tips with a memory-free red cable. The smooth, satin-sheen finish helps yarn slide along the needles, while precisely machined tips feature a bend.

Reach for this compact circular for hats, cowls and other projects whose patterns specify a 16-inch needle. The fixed construction keeps the tips and cable together without interchangeable connections, so you can pick up your project and get back to your stitches.

Choose the right size for your pattern

Every option in this listing is a 16-inch circular. The US size identifies needle thickness, not length. Select the size needed for your pattern's gauge and check your selected option for current availability.

For knitting in the round, make sure the circular length suits your project's circumference. A hat pattern may call for a 16-inch circular for the body and a different needle arrangement as you decrease the crown. Knit a gauge swatch with your chosen yarn before starting.

Frequently asked questions

Are these needles suitable for hats?

They can be used for hats when the pattern specifies a 16-inch circular in one of the offered US sizes. Check the pattern's gauge and crown-finishing instructions before choosing.

What is the red cable made from?

The cable is multi-strand steel coated with red nylon. Its memory-free construction helps it avoid retaining a coiled shape.

Are the tips interchangeable?

No. These are fixed circular needles, not separate tips, replacement cables or an interchangeable needle set.

Can I knit flat with these needles?

Yes. Work back and forth in rows without joining in the round, provided your stitches fit comfortably on the needle.
