KnitPro Mini Bouquet 5 cm Interchangeable Circular Needle Set: what it includes and what it’s for

The KnitPro Mini Bouquet 5 cm Interchangeable Circular Needle Set (limited edition) is designed as a “mini” kit for when standard needle tips feel too long or cumbersome. It’s especially useful if you like knitting with more control in tight areas, or on projects with a small circumference where you need maximum manoeuvrability.

The mini 5 cm tips (approx. 2 in) are made from lightweight, durable aluminium, with a silver and rose gold finish. The aim is for you to work smoothly without the set feeling heavy in the hand — something you’ll appreciate during long sessions or when you’re working small pieces with lots of rounds.

The interchangeable system is completed with stainless steel cables coated in transparent nylon: firm yet flexible, with a smooth surface so the cable glides easily through your stitches, and designed to reduce twisting or the typical ‘kinks’ you get with memory cables.

What’s included in the KnitPro Mini Bouquet 5 cm Interchangeable Circular Needle Set

This 5 cm mini interchangeable circular needle set comes as a complete kit, with tips, cables, and everyday assembly and use accessories. The official contents of the set are:

  • ▷ 8 pairs of 5 cm interchangeable tips in 3.00 / 3.50 / 3.75 / 4.00 / 4.50 / 5.00 / 5.50 / 6.00 mm
  • ▷ 4 cables: 2 at 27 cm (approx. 10.6 in) and 2 at 30 cm (approx. 11.8 in) (total length including the tips)
  • ▷ 4 metal end stoppers
  • ▷ 2 keys (cable keys)
  • ▷ 1 tapestry needle (tapestry needle)
  • ▷ 2 mini metal stitch holders (mini stitch holders)

How to choose the size and cable in the KnitPro Mini Bouquet 5 cm set

In a 5 cm mini interchangeable needle set, choosing the needle size works the same as ever: pattern + gauge swatch + how the yarn behaves. The advantage here is that the range covers very popular sizes (from 3.00 to 6.00 mm) and includes an in-between size like 3.75 mm, which is handy when you need to fine-tune your tension without big jumps.

As for the cable, note that the 27 cm and 30 cm stated are the total length with the tips attached, not just the cable on its own. That’s what makes this set practical for small circumferences: you choose the length that best matches the true diameter of your piece, so you’re not stretching the fabric or fighting the cable.

Recommended projects with the KnitPro Mini Bouquet 5 cm Set

This mini set for socks and sleeves really comes into its own when you’re working in tight areas: cuffs, fitted sleeves, baby garments, or small accessories. It’s the classic case where shorter needle tips give you more control, because there aren’t extra centimetres of tip getting in the way of your hand or the fabric itself.

Plus, as a KnitPro Limited Edition Mini Bouquet, it’s also very gift-friendly (it was launched as a special edition associated with Mother’s Day) and comes presented in a zip pouch with a bow, designed to keep everything organised and easy to carry.
