The Lykke Flight 3.5" Standard Interchangeable Stainless Steel Needle Set is made for knitters who prefer short circulars for hats, yokes, sleeves, baby knits, and other close-fitting projects. With 316 stainless steel tips, swivel cords, and compact 3.5" length, this set helps small-circumference knitting feel more comfortable and less cramped than working the same projects on longer tips.

If you have ever tried to knit a 16" hat or neckline with 5" tips, you know how crowded the joins can feel. The Flight 3.5" Standard set is built to solve that problem while keeping the same smooth glide and reliable joins as the 5" Standard set.

Short circular knitting that feels more natural

The 3.5" tips are sized for 16", 20", 24", and 32" circulars so your hands can relax around the curve of the cable instead of fighting long tips in a tight space. You get better control over crown shaping, necklines, and sleeves, with less strain and fewer moments where stitches bunch at the joins.

What makes the Flight 3.5" Standard set unique

Flight needles are made from 316 grade stainless steel with a satin finish that gives you a steady glide without feeling overly slick. The 3.5" tip length is tuned for small rounds, and the balanced point shape is sharp enough for cables and lace but gentle on your fingertips. This combination makes the set a strong match for knitters who rely on short circulars for their everyday work.

• 3.5" interchangeable stainless steel tips in US 3–10.5 (3.25–6.50 mm).
• 316 stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and comfortable use for most knitters with metal sensitivities.
• Hollow-core construction to keep tips lighter than solid metal needles.
• Medium-sharp profile suitable for twisted stitches, cables, and smooth stockinette.
• Etched US and metric size markings that remain readable over time.

Who this set is made for

The Flight 3.5" Standard set is for knitters who reach for short circulars as often as straight or long circular needles. It covers the same size range as the 5" Standard set but in a format that feels more at home on smaller circumferences.

• Hats and beanies worked on 16" and 20" circulars.
• Necklines, button bands, and collars in sport through aran weight yarns.
• Sleeves for adult and child garments where a short cable feels easier to manage.
• Baby sweaters and accessories that sit comfortably on 16" or 24" cords.
• Knitters who prefer the feel of short tips for everyday circular knitting.

What’s inside the case

The compact faux waxed canvas case opens flat to show all of your short tips and cords at once. Each needle has its own slot, and a dedicated pocket keeps cords and small pieces together so they do not get lost at the bottom of a project bag.

  US 3 (3.25 mm)
  US 4 (3.50 mm)
  US 5 (3.75 mm)
  US 6 (4.00 mm)
  US 7 (4.50 mm)
  US 8 (5.00 mm)

  24" (60 cm)

  Lengths are measured tip to tip with the 3.5" needles attached.
• 2 cable connectors for joining cords when a longer length is needed.
• 4 tightening keys and 1 small silicone grip pad to help secure the joins.
• 8 end stoppers so you can turn cords into stitch holders or spare needles.
• 1 faux waxed canvas carrying case with tip storage and notions pocket in Denim, Maroon, or Purple.

How the tips and cords feel in use

Small-circumference projects can highlight every quirk in your tools. The Flight 3.5" Standard set is designed so your needles and cords stay out of the way while you focus on shaping and stitch patterns.

• 3.5" tips keep your hands closer to the work, which can improve control on tight rounds.
• Satin stainless surface helps stitches move steadily around the cable without sticking or sliding too fast.
• Swivel joins allow cords to turn with your hands instead of twisting up as you knit.
• Braided steel cores with a clear coating relax quickly and avoid sharp kinks.
