Seeknit | 23cm Asymmetric Circular Knitting Needle | Shirotake

Seeknit Shirotake Asymmetrical Circular Knitting Needles 23cm

Thoughtfully designed for small circumference knitting, offering a simple and effective alternative to double-pointed needles. Ideal for socks, mitts, sleeves, hats, and other projects with fewer stitches, they bring ease and control to more detailed work.

What makes these needles distinctive is their asymmetrical design. One needle tip is shorter, holding the stitches, while the longer needle is used to work them. This creates a more comfortable knitting position, allowing the hand to relax while maintaining precision — particularly helpful when working in the round on smaller projects.

Crafted in Japan by Seeknit from carefully selected Shirotake bamboo, the needles are gently polished with natural plant wax. This creates a smooth, softly tactile surface that allows stitches to glide effortlessly, while still offering enough grip for even, consistent tension. The finely tapered tips support detailed stitch-work, and each needle size is clearly laser imprinted for ease of use.

The flexible cable moves freely without kinking or twisting, helping your knitting flow uninterrupted. The result is a knitting experience that feels light, balanced, and quietly efficient.

Suitable for

Socks, leg warmers, mitts, wrist warmers, sleeves, hats, and all small circumference knitting projects.
