Classic single‑point needles built from aluminum provide a reliable hand and smooth stitch glide for flat knitting. The 30 cm length gives comfortable reach for scarves, panels, and swatches, while the 5 mm size suits common yarn weights. Firm, rounded tips aid precise decreases and neat edges without snagging. Knobs secure stitches at rest, making these a practical choice for learners and experienced knitters alike. Always check gauge and tool size for your project.
