KNITPRO Nova Platina double pointed needles are designed for small-circumference knitting when you are shaping toes, cuffs, or narrow tubes and a circular needle feels too long. This set includes five 12½ cm (5") needles in 2 mm (US 0) for socks, cuffs, and glove fingers with clean, controlled turns. Use the extra needle to rotate your work smoothly and maintain an even gauge through decreases, heels, and rounded shaping on fine to medium yarns.
