Knitting socks with the addi double pointed needles
The needle set usually consists of 5 needles, which have points on both sides. The sock stitches are distributed on 4 needles to form a tube - knit off with the 5th needle.
Needle sets come in many variations in terms of length and material. They are usually 20 or 15 cm long to hold the needles well. However, addi also offers particularly short double pointed needles with a length of 10 cm or extra long ones with a length of 40 cm.
The preferred length depends on the knitter himself and the project to be knitted. addi needle movements are available in a wide variety of materials such as metal (steel, aluminium, brass), plastic, bamboo and colourful anodised aluminium. Everyone has to find their preferred material, which must also match the yarn used.

Knitting socks with addi circular knitting needles
If they are worked on 2 circular needles, one circular needle picks up half of the stitches at a time, the stitches are also only knitted off with the needle they are on.

Basic instructions knitting socks for the addiSockwonder
If you can produce long circular knitting needles, you can also do it with short circular knitting needles. The only difficulty with such a small tube as a sock is that the needle tips have to be very short to be able to form a closed round with the rope. The shortcoming of the short tips is that they are difficult to grip and hold.
Here addi has come up with something special - the addi Sockwonder. It 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 and still ensures holding comfort. The short tip only holds the needle, the long tip knits off the stitches. So socks can now be worked completely in rounds without changing needles and without having to pull through cords.

Knitting socks with the addiCraSyTrio
The revolution in sock knitting is the flexible Double Pointed Needles addiCraSyTrio. It combines the advantages of DPNs with the principle of knitting on a circular needle.
The set consists of 3 needles with flexible middle part. 2 needles are in the knitting piece and the 3rd needle is used for knitting. So there are only 2 needle changes per round.
The flexible part in the middle allows the needles to ergonomically adapt to the hand and the individual knitting style. For example, they bend between the hands of one knitter and backwards away from the body of another.
The metal version is equipped with a standard point and a lace point that is particularly long and pointed. This makes it easy to work socks with lace patterns and to pick up stitches in capped heels.
addiCraSyTrio are not only available for socks but are also ideal for hats, sleeves or turtlenecks and are available in many thicknesses and lengths.

Double Pointed Needles are available in very sturdy metals such as steel - addiSteel – for advanced knitters or made of lightweight aluminium or bamboo, which, depending on preference, is more suitable for a loose knit .
The stitches slip particularly well on metal needleswhich is great for professionals and fast knitters. However, this can be difficult, especially for beginners, so bamboo needles are more suitable for the beginning.
