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 60cm (about 24 in) overall with 2¾ mm tips, suited to smaller- circumference work like hats, necklines, and sleeves when your pattern calls for a shorter cord. 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.
