Craftingdouble-pointed needle
Description
A knitting needle with points on both ends, used in sets of four or five to knit small circular projects like socks.
Detailed explanation
Double-pointed needles (DPNs) are essential tools for knitting seamless tubes that are too narrow for circular needles. Typically sold in sets of four or five, they are available in materials such as wood, bamboo, metal, or plastic. By distributing stitches across multiple needles, users can knit in the round to create items like mittens, sleeves, and hat crowns.
