KnitPro Cubics 15 cm Double-Pointed Needle Set

The KnitPro Cubics 15 cm Double-Pointed Needle Set includes 15 cm double-pointed needles in a range designed for socks and small projects. It comes neatly organised in an envelope-style fabric case and includes 9 sizes: 2.00 / 2.25 / 2.50 / 2.75 / 3.00 / 3.25 / 3.50 / 3.75 / 4.00 mm. In each size you get 5 needles, which lets you work in the round comfortably by distributing your stitches.

In practice, this range covers everything from very fine sock yarn (when a pattern calls for 2.00–2.50 mm) to slightly more “forgiving” sizes for small pieces with a bit more structure (3.50–4.00 mm). If you were considering buying KnitPro Cubics 15 cm double-pointed needles individually, this set helps you avoid coming up short when you switch patterns, tension, or fibre type.

KnitPro Cubics 15 cm sock needles (double-pointed needles) are used to work in the round when the diameter of your knitting is small: socks, mittens, children’s sleeves, cuffs, or any short tubular piece. Instead of working with a cable, you spread the stitches across several needles and knit with one “free” needle. This gives you direct access to the round and can make certain parts of a pattern easier, such as heels or toes.

When are they a better choice than a circular needle? When you don’t want to deal with cable length (or techniques like magic loop) and you prefer a simple set-up, especially for very small diameters. The extra benefit of this set is the square profile: many knitters notice more control when holding and switching needles. If your goal is to knit socks comfortably with 15 cm double-pointed needles, this format is a very logical option.

“Laddering” usually appears at the transitions between needles: the first and last stitch on each needle can end up with less tension, creating a vertical gap. With the KnitPro Cubics 15 cm Double-Pointed Needle Set, the first step is to handle those transitions deliberately: snug up the second stitch (not the first) after switching needles, and make sure the working yarn is positioned neatly before you continue.

Another practical trick is to rotate the start of the round: every few rounds, shift a few stitches from one needle to the next so the transition doesn’t always fall in the same place. This spreads any potential mark and often makes it disappear visually. It also helps to use 4 needles to hold the stitches and knit with the fifth, keeping the distribution balanced; at 15 cm there’s room to find a comfortable set-up, especially for socks on small-diameter needles.

Many people try KnitPro Cubics square needles because the shape changes how the needle rests against your fingers. It’s not “magic”, but it can give a more secure grip than a fully round needle, especially in finer sizes (2.00–3.00 mm), where your hand can tire more quickly or stitches can slip if you relax.

The real advantage tends to show up in control: when switching needles on small-circumference knitting, keeping a steady movement is key for even tension. If your issue is that fine needles “slip out of your hands”, the squared body can give you that extra reference point. That’s why this set works well as a KnitPro Cubics 15 cm sock needle set when you want precision without feeling like you’re fighting the tool on every round.

KnitPro Cubics 15 cm wooden needles benefit from simple, consistent care: keep them in their case when you’re not using them to prevent knocks to the tips and scuffs that can “catch” the yarn. If you knit with fibres that shed fluff, give them a quick wipe with a dry cloth now and then to keep the surface clean so stitches glide smoothly.

Avoid leaving them in damp places or intense heat (for example, near radiators or in a car in the sun), as wood can suffer with extreme changes. If they accidentally get dirty, it’s best to clean them gently and quickly, without soaking. With that basic maintenance, a set like this can last for years as your go-to 15 cm double-pointed needle set for repeat projects such as socks or cuffs.

If you want to buy the KnitPro Cubics 15 cm double-pointed needle set online in Spain, the most practical option is a specialist knitting and crochet shop, where they can also help you if you’re choosing sizes for a sock or baby pattern. At Garmon Yarns you can find it as a direct option to complete your sock-knitting kit with a very usable range of sizes (2.00–4.00 mm).

A quick tip before you buy: check that the set clearly states the length (15 cm), the size range, and that it includes the case, because double-pointed needles come in different lengths and series. Buying from a yarn shop also makes it easier to get the rest of your project right (sock yarn, stitch markers, needle stoppers, etc.) and helps you avoid common compatibility mistakes or choosing a length that doesn’t feel comfortable for you.
