How to Select Knitting Needles for Beginners?

Every beginner knows this question; which knitting needles are the best for me? What choices should I make and what should I pay attention to? There are knitting needles in abundance, like Single Pointed Knitting Needles, Circular Knitting Needles, Double Pointed Knitting Needles or Interchangeable Knitting Needles. But these differ again in thickness, length and material, for example they can be made of bamboo, aluminum, steel or acrylic.

As you can see, with such a large selection, the decision is really not easy. With this blog entry today we would like to introduce you to some of the knitting needles that are suitable for beginners and give you tips on what to look out for when choosing your knitting needles.

First of all, we would like to introduce the different types of needles

Interchangeable circular needles

The Interchangeable Circular Needles are particularly suitable for round projects, so if you are a beginner and want to knit your first hat or loop, then this type of knitting needles is just the thing you need. The circular needles are easier to use for beginners, like the double pointed needles, which are also very often used for round projects. The needle tips can be connected to the appropriate cable lengths, so you have the right needle ready for every project. Take a look at our Interchangeable Circular Needles Sets.

Single Pointed Needles

The classic knitting needles with a blocker at the end, which are very well known to many, are a popular choice for beginners. By simply rowing back and forth, you can knit simple models and thus expand your knowledge. The Single Pointed Needles are suitable for flat projects such as scarves, blankets or pillow cases. You can find the Single Pointed Needles in many different sizes on our website. Take a look at our wide range and order your favorite knitting needles.

With the ideas of the needle types we could perhaps help you one step further with the choice of knitting needles, but now comes the next question; what material should the needles be made of?
