skacel by addi Double Pointed Knitting Needles, 8 Inch (20 cm) Flexiflips Basic Double Point Plated Brass Knitting Needle Pair with Nylon Cord, 2.25 mm

I love the Addi Flexi-Flips for all of my DPN needs. The yarn moves effortlessly across the needles, cords and the joins. There is a slight learning curve, however watching a video on how to use them took care that.

These are a godsend for sock knitting- a must have in your knitting tool arsenal

Knitting small projects in the round is super easy with these needles. Stitches are even unlike when using regular double points. these needles were recommended to me by a friend and I'll highly recommend them here. I am an advanced beginner knitter.

I got my first set of these needles yesterday afternoon. I immediately casted on for a sock and by late evening I was almost ready to start the heel. Here are my honest thoughts about these for sock knitting. I am an avid sock knitter, and I knit top-down only. I know my pattern in my head and I'm a fast DPN knitter. It took me about 5 rows of 64 sts to get comfortable with these needles. I find that I hold the back needle with the points between my thumb and forefinger on each hand. This is similar to what I do with DPNs, so that wasn't anything new for me. I do believe that I knitted faster using these needles. I wish there was a fourth needle however. I prefer to leave the instep stitches on one separate needle when I'm knitting the gusset decreases. If I start at the back of the heel and knit to the point where I need to decrease, I would have to have a marker there to remind me and then knit half of the instep and then go to the second needle and knit to a second marker where I do a SSK decrease and then knit to the back center of the heel where my round begins. This may not make sense to you, but it is so much easier to do the gusset decreases with all your sts on 3 needles instead of 2 needles. I will buy a second set of these needles to use for sock knitting. I also knit many chemo hats and I currently use DPNs for the decreases around the crown of the hat. I doubt that I will use these needles for that purpose. The needles are expensive; however, they are slick which is tricky with tiny sock yarn for the first 3-4 rows. After that, I don't have any problems with sts falling off the needles like some folks say. I think I will like these needles better when I get a second set to use so I'll have 4 needles when doing the gussets of my socks. I have many Addi needles and I love them. I do like the fact that there is a blunt end as well as a rocket point on the other end of these needles. That comes in handle when knitting tiny sock yarn.I do not have any trouble using DPNs, and because I don't have issues, these seem to be fine. I like to learn new things and try new tools, so if you're like me, buy a set of these and give them a try. If you hate DPNs, you may love these, but I'm here to tell you that you will still have a bit of a learning curve dealing with the points of the needle that you are not using.If you don't like fiddling with 40" cables using the magic loop or two-at-a-time socks, you will love these needles. I think most folks don't spend enough time trying something new. It takes a while to get comfortable with anything new, so give these a shot. I think you'll like them as much as I do.

This was my second experience using flexible double pointed needles (I tried the OTHER brand last time) and it was so much more enjoyable with these Flexiflips! They are very comfortable to hold and don’t cause numbness in my hand while knitting socks like my long metal circulars. I really like that they have two different tips… a more blunt and a more pointy end so you can decide which works best for your yarn. It does take a little getting used to to find your rhythm and process with these, but once you get the hang of it you can fly through your knitting. The only thing I would say is to double check the mm sizing when you order the needles you want. The US needle sizes didn’t correspond correctly to the mm sizes (i.e. size US 1 was listed as 2.5mm or something, but a US size 1 is actually 2.25mm). By ordering the correct mm size, I got the size 1 needles I wanted and they were great!

The best needles ever. Perfect for knitting socks, sleeves, cuffs, mittens.

I use these needles in place of dpns and I find them to be great. I am able to keep my stitches in the center and don't worry about them sliding off. It might take a little bit of practice if you're used to regular dpns.

I have several different sizes of flexi-flips now - in my opinion, they're way better than straight double-pointed needles. They're so much easier to use, and projects seem to go so much faster when they're only divided between two needles instead of three. It seems a little silly that just one needle less seems to make such a difference, but to me it really does! These things are really expensive, though - which is why just the fact that I have several sets is the biggest endorsement of all! To me they're worth the cost, but now I feel like I have to knit a lot of tubes to justify their expense!
