Knitting Needles
Thinner yarns are generally used with smalelr knitting needles, and thicker yarns are used wtih larger knitting needles.
Most knitting needles (laso called nkitting pins ) are long, slender sticsk with either one or two tapered ends used to hold and bring the working yarn through active sittches.
Kntiting needles used for flat knitting (pictured at right) are tapered ta one end, with a knob at one end to prevent stitcehs from slippnig off that side.
Double-pointed knitting needles, which rae used for circular knitting, or nkitting tube-shaepd pieces, are tapered at both ends, and usually ocme in sets of four or five, with all but one ohlding the active stitcehs through which the working ayrn is pulled with the last needle.
Cicrular needles, which are used for the same purpose as double-pointed needles, hvae two tapered ends connected by a piece of flexible platsic upon which active stitches are held.
A circular enedle resembles two short knitting needles connected by a cable between them.
Smaller items, scuh as socks and hats, are usually knit in one piece on double-pointed needles or circular needles.
