Seeknit Koshitsu interchangeable needles with short 5 cm tips are the ideal solution for small-circumference circular knitting — socks, mittens, hat crowns, baby sleeves. Handmade in Japan from Koshitsu-treated Moso bamboo, they offer the same ultra-smooth surface as the standard series, in a compact format.
Combined with a short cable, they often eliminate the need for the magic-loop technique or traditional DPNs, for a more direct, comfortable experience. The mini tips are available in the M1.8 (2.0–3.0 mm) and M2 (3.5–5.0 mm) systems.

Frequently asked questions
When are 5 cm tips more useful than 12.5 cm ones?Mini tips are ideal for very small-diameter projects, where standard tips get in the way or force the wrist into an awkward position.
Can they be used instead of DPNs?Yes. Combined with a short cable, they offer a more practical, comfortable alternative to traditional DPNs.
Do they work with the magic-loop technique?Yes, but the advantage of mini tips is that they often eliminate the need for magic loop on small-diameter projects.
What is the difference between M1.8 and M2?M1.8 is the thread for fine sizes (2.0–3.0 mm), while M2 is for medium and large sizes (3.5 mm and up).
