The square aluminum needles feel very comfortable in the hand and reflect hand warmth well. The particularly positive properties of these "square" needles include their light weight and the very even stitch pattern created during knitting.
In addition, these needles are particularly recommended for knitters with rheumatic diseases, other joint problems and nickel allergies.
Please note that the stitch pattern is approx. 0.5 - 1 size smaller than with conventional round needles.
The needle size is measured in the same way as for round needles - e.g. a 3.0 square needle fits into the 3.0 hole of the needle gauge.
