Knitting is a trendy topic. And as with all trends, it’s either “in” or “out.”
There was a time when knitting was pretty much out. But one thing has always remained: Sock knitting. Even in the Middle Ages, the art of sock knitting was widespread. No matter whether simple and functional or as a decorative lace sock.
addi offers a variety of sock knitting needles as you can read in the following.
The classic – The addi Double Pointed Needles
The needle set usually consists of 5 needles, which have points on both sides. The stitches are distributed on 4 needles and knitted off with the 5th needle. The addi double pointed needles are available in many different variations. Mostly they are 20 cm or 15 cm long to hold the needles well. However. addi double pointed needles are available in a wide variety of materials such as, plastic, bamboo and colorful anodized aluminum, t
The addiColibris.
The Knitting Needle for almost everything – The addi Circular Knitting Needle . If you work on 2 circular needles, one circular needle picks up half of the stitches at a time, and the stitches are also only knitted off with the needle they are on.
If you use only one circular needle, you work with the so-called miracle loop. Here, one half of the stitches is placed on the needle rope, while by pulling out a loop on both sides of the tube, the stitches you are working with are pulled onto the needles in working position.
Usually, you use fine knitting needles because they are nice and sharp and are also available in the small diameters, mostly made of metal.
The Sock Circular Knitting Needle – The addiSockwonder
The addiSockwonder has a very short tip on one side and a longer tip on the other. With these 2 different tips, it is now possible to bring the needle to a total length of 25 cm, which is perfect for sock knitting while still ensuring holding comfort. So now socks can be worked completely in rounds without changing needles and without pulling ropes through.
The innovation – The addiCraSyTrio
The revolution in sock knitting is the flexible addiCraSyTrio needle.
The set consists of 3 needles with a flexible middle part. In each case 2 needles are in the knitting and with the 3rd needle is knitted. So, there are only 2 needle changes per round.
In the metal version, they are equipped with a standard tip and a lace tip, which is particularly long and pointed.
In short: addi offers a wide range of sock knitting needles. So, nothing can stand in the way of warm feet in the coming winter!
