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 4.5 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.
