ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Shorties Interchangeable Needle Set – US 0–3 [M]

The ChiaoGoo TWIST Red Shorties interchangeable knitting needle set includes 12 pairs of solid, surgical stainless steel tips in 2-inch (5 cm) and 3-inch (8 cm) lengths, covering US sizes 0–3 (2–3.25 mm). Combine the tips with the included MINI diameter red cables to make circular needles from 9 inches (23 cm) through 14 inches (36 cm), depending on the tip and cable combination.

For socks, cuffs and other small-circumference projects, this compact set offers a choice of tip lengths when the sizes and assembled lengths suit your pattern. Settle into a few rounds, then tuck your spare components into the red pocket-sized pouch to keep your project tools together.

Choose the right Shorties set

Choose the Red Shorties set when you need the US 0–3 size range and compact circular needles. Match needle thickness to your pattern's gauge, then choose a tip and cable combination that suits your project's circumference.

Short tips feel different from longer interchangeable needles, so consider your preferred grip. Sock heels, toes, decreases and very small sections may require a different needle arrangement or technique. Follow your pattern's instructions, and check connection compatibility before adding components from another set.
