ChiaoGoo Red Lace Circular 24 inch (60cm) Stainless Steel Knitting Needle Size US 8 (5mm) 7024-8

These are my favorite needles. I will not buy any other brand

Probably my favorite metal circulate. I have them in both the lace and regular tips. The 24” is a good size for making baby blankets or for other items with too few stitches to efficiently use a 32”. Great joins that your yarn never gets hung up on. Beefy cord that has enough flexibility to be comfortable to use.

Very comfortable and easy to use, knitting just flies by.

Work well for magic loop projects

I only own two pair of ChiaoGoo Red Lace circular needles SO FAR, but there are four main reasons I like these over my other brands that I own. 1) There is a smooth transition between the stainless steel needle and the red wire so yarn never gets caught or snagged between the two materials. 2) The wire is braided for strength and covered with a very tightly fused red material (rubber??), so you can hold hundreds of stitches on it without it breaking. I know this, because a different brand broke when I had over 400+ stitches on the needles, but when I transferred those 400+ stitches to the ChiaoGoo, they easily handled that and more! 3) The points are quite pointed, allowing you to do intricate stitches, like the Star Stitch, (where you need to need K3, yo, K same 3 again) where stitches get tight. 4) The finish on the stainless steel is extremely satiny smooth, so the stitches smoothly slide off when going from one needle to the next.

Absolutely love this needle! Nice, sharp points with a sturdy cable with great flexibility.

This is my favorite needle brand.

Ive had the circular needle less than a year and the cable broke off from the needle. Its impossible to repair.

These are my preferred knitting needles, and I have used them all. The cables dont twist or bind up at the join, the tips are long and wickedly sharp for precision stitch maneuvers with lace or cables. My o ly complaint, one of the needles has a burr which I have taken an emery cloth to. I own these needles in all sizes and have never encountered this before, but Id would never send them back because it was an easy fix.

I really enjoy the flexibility of the loop, makes knitting much easier and the yarn less likely to fall off the end of the needle.
