KNITPRO Nova Platina double pointed needles are polished metal needles made for small-circumference knitting such as socks, gloves, and sleeves using the DPN technique. This set includes five 20 cm (8 in) needles in 3.75 mm (US 5) to match the gauge and yarn specified in your pattern. Store them in a sleeve or case to keep sizes together, and avoid dropping the points so the smooth finish stays snag-free while you knit.
