CraSyTrio
Let CraSyTrio needles make light weight of knitting small circumferences. These double-pointed needles, which come in sets of three, have flexible middle sections which make knitting in the round super easy.
Distribute your stitches across two needles and use the third to knit them. You need only, therefore, two needle changes per round, which nicely speeds things up a little.
Individual needles can also be used as stitch holders.
With CraSyTrio, it is easier, quicker, and simpler to knit not just socks; gloves, leg-warmers, hats, sleeves or baby clothes are also no longer a problem.
