Double Pointed Knitting Needle/ Circular Needle Cosy
A double-pointed knitting needle cosy (or circular needle holder) is one of those clever little tools that knitters quickly fall in love with once they try it.
It’s mainly used by knitters who work with double-pointed needles (DPNs) — for example when making socks, sleeves, mittens, or other projects in the round. The cozy keeps all the needles neatly in place, with the live stitches secured, so there’s no risk of losing stitches in the project bag or poking yourself with stray needles.
Why it’s good:
No more dropped stitches – it holds everything snugly in place.
Protects your needles – especially if they’re wooden or bamboo, preventing them from bending or breaking in your bag.
Travel-friendly – you can toss your knitting in a purse without fear of it unraveling.
Keeps projects tidy – no more tangled yarn or messy-looking WIPs.
Why it’s useful:
It gives knitters peace of mind. Instead of worrying about stitches sliding off or needles poking out, they can just focus on the joy of knitting. It’s especially handy for portable projects like socks or mittens that knitters like to bring along on commutes, holidays, or knit nights.
In short: It’s the little knitting accessory you didn’t know you needed until you use it—then you wonder how you ever managed without it.
