Knitting Needles
Posted on Thursday, May 28th, 2009 at 4:13 amIs there a way to substitute staight knitting needles for circular ones?
It seems like everything is made on circular needles, and I like to knit on straight needles. Is there some magic trick to converting circular ones to straight ones?
It depends on what you are knitting. Very wide projects can be split into panels and later sewn together, since straight needles do not easily accommodate wide widths. Anything knit flat on circular needles (back and forth) can be knit on straights. Circular projects can also be knit on straight needles by breaking them up into panels and adding seaming stitches to either edge (one per edge). The difficulty here is that if your pattern is written in the round you have to convert the reverse side row stitches appropriately which may be more work than you are willing to do. You can also knit even very large round projects on dpns, if you have enough of them, although there are still some manufacturers out there who still make 12" dpns, but they have to be special ordered.
