Using these KnitPro Mindful Double Point Needles is easy. First, choose the right yarn for your project, like socks, hats, or sleeves. Then, start by casting on the stitches onto one needle. You can work in the round by moving the stitches around the needles as you knit. When you're done knitting, gently remove the needles from your project. To take care of these needles, keep them in a dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid dropping them as it might damage the stainless - steel lace tips. Also, don't use them with overly rough or abrasive yarns that could scratch the needles. If they get dirty, you can wipe them clean with a soft, dry cloth.
