Addi Circular Needle Sockwonder 25cm 4mm, Metal, Silver

I purchased these needles for my little girl who is using them to make hats for her dolls. The shorter needle lengths are the perfect size for her small hands, and the cord is just right for what she is knitting (I can also say they’ve saved me a load of grief attempting to teach a 6 year old how to juggle dpns or magic looping!)Like all the other Addi products I have, the joins are smooth and sturdy and the cable has just the right amount of flex.I haven’t tried to knit a sock with them, but the diameter looks as though it could handle 60+ stitches in 4ply without tugging (I don’t feel like it could handle anything smaller than an adult medium sock but I may be wrong!).I tested the needles on my ‘larger’ adult hands, and I didn’t find them uncomfortable, I would probably stick to dpns or longer cables purely because I prefer a specific sock construction that will be too fiddly with these. For things like baby leg warmers though, these would be fantastic.The photo shows 45 stitches DK weight on 3.25mm sock wonder needles.

I knit a lot of socks. This little circular needle with its cute little combination of different sized needles sounded a good plan for speedy sock production. Not for me. The needle points are not sharp enough on the 2.5mm because down to that size you are knitting with very fine wool and the thicker points took at least 2 stabs to pass through. Not a waste of money, I'll use it to hold stitches not being worked whilst knitting the heel.

I love this new bit of knitting kit. So much easier to make colourwork socks on this than on double pointed needles. I can see more clearly if I have made a pattern error or not. Would recommend

Love Addi needles and this one is no exception. Does just what is says it'll do. Help you knit socks on a circular needle so you're not using DPN's and fighting the hedgehog as my mother in law used to say. What more can I say - I love Addi circular needles

Initially found the small circular needle hard to handle as new to sock knitting..but love it now and just ordered another!

So much easier to hold and handle than an 'equal needle length' 9in circular. I'm converted. I've also tried longer circular needles (impossible) and DPNs (which I like but not as much as this!).

Great on most parts of sock but I find the needle a bit too long when decreasing for toe.

4mm needles reviewthe needle’s tips aren’t sharp enough to pick up stitches which is very frustrating, especially for casting on. Knitting the body of the project is ok but casting on and knitting the first few rows is extremely difficult for size 4. I’ve bought chiaogoo and knit pro zing as they have sharper tips.
