This KNITPRO Basix fixed circular needle pairs two needle tips with a permanent cord for knitting in the round or for flat rows when you need extra room for stitches. It is 120cm (about 47 in) overall with 12 mm tips, giving you space for larger rounds such as cowls, sweaters, or blankets while the cord holds the bulk of the fabric. Overall length is measured tip-to-tip, so you can match needle length to your pattern’s circumference and keep stitches comfortably on the cord.
