Using a set of double-pointed needles allows us to knit in a tube, and is useful for knitting socks, gloves, mittens, hats - anything that isn't knit flat. Using 4 or 5 needles at a time can seem daunting, but it's really no different than using two. Here I show you how to get started using double-pointed needles.

  • i dont get how you do the beggining. When i started watching, the shape was already like that! Do you have a video showing how to do that?

  • @BubblePopMystery This video demonstrates everything you need to get started with DPNs - make sure you didn't skip ahead somehow. I show you everything here from the start, I promise! :)

  • How do you get it to stay in that triangle shape? Thanks in advance

  • @JTBeadcraft Once you join the stitches in-the-round, it has no choice but to stay in the triangle shape. :)

  • Question I am going to start for the first time it calls for a CO of 40 sts can I use 3 needles or do I have to use 4 to even it out?

  • I am left handed but knit right handed and have tried for a while to learn how to knit on DPNs without much success until your video. I am thrilled to say that I can now knit on DPNs thanks to your video. Laying the needles down and showing what we have to do with all then eedles really helped me understand how to properly knit with all 4 needles. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! This is the best video out there!

  • I was totally intimidated about using dpns before, but your video makes perfect sense. Thanks for posting!

  • Thank you! You made it clear to me for the first time as to which needle to go to for the next round of stitching! I appreciate your clarity and visuals. I think I can do this now!

  • Great job! 

  • Thank you! Very, very helpful!
