Switching From Circular Needles to DPNs
Mary Beth TempleIf you want to knit a project in the round and wonder why the materials list might tell you that you need circular knitting needles and DPNs in the same size, this video is for you! While we can, within limits, adjust the cable length on our circulars to best suit the number of stitches we need to work on, there might come a time -- for example at the crown of a hat, or the start or end of a stuffie -- that we need to knit the world's tiniest circle! The way to do that easily is by using DPNS, even if you have knit the bulk of the project on circulars!
