Description
Knit Red circulars are ChiaoGoo's original stainless steel fixed circular knitting needles, on a memory-free red cable. The needle size is laser-marked on each circular.
This is the 16-inch (40 cm) length, measured from point to point with the tips and cable together, as printed on the package. ChiaoGoo puts a bend in the tips on the 12-inch and longer lengths to ease hand fatigue. The 16-inch length suits hats and cowls knit in the round.
Sizes
15 sizes, from US-0 (2 mm) through US-11 (8 mm). Each choice is one circular needle in one size.
Tips and Cable
The Knit Red point is less sharp than the Red Lace point.
The cable is multi-strand steel with a red nylon coating. It has no memory, so it does not hold the coil from the package, and yarn slides right over it.
Other ChiaoGoo Circulars
ChiaoGoo makes three lines of fixed circulars, and all three come in a 16-inch length:
- Knit Red: these needles, in 9-, 12-, 16-, 24-, 32-, and 40-inch lengths. All six are in the ChiaoGoo Knit Red Fixed Circulars collection.
- Red Lace: stainless steel on the same kind of red cable, with straight tips and a sharper lace point, in 16- to 60-inch lengths, in the ChiaoGoo Red Lace Fixed Circulars collection.
- Bamboo and wood: Moso bamboo tips in 9- to 40-inch lengths, with wood tips for US-17 and larger, in the ChiaoGoo Bamboo & Wood Fixed Circulars collection.
To make several lengths from one set of tips, see the ChiaoGoo Interchangeable Sets. The 4-inch sets make 16-inch circulars.

Questions About These Circulars
Are these needles hypoallergenic?
ChiaoGoo makes them of surgical stainless steel and states that it is hypoallergenic and, in most cases, not reactive to sensitive skin.
Do the cables kink?
They are memory-free, not kink-free. ChiaoGoo attributes cable failure to repeated sharp bending, tight tension, and lifting heavy projects by the cable or joins, so lift by the needles. If a cable snaps, here is what to do.
Will they fit in a ChiaoGoo case?
The ChiaoGoo Case for Circular Knitting Needles holds fixed circulars in 16 labeled pockets, with an outside zippered pocket for notions. It measures 9 x 7 inches (23 x 18 cm) closed.
