Circular Needle Length Guide
Find the right circular needle cable length for your project circumference and knitting method.
Recommendation
Recommended Cable Length
24"
Standard circular knitting works best when cable length ≈ project circumference (22"). Smaller cables (20") will be too tight.

Minimum Cable
22"
