Straight needles are best for flat projects, like scarves and blankets. Circular needles are ideal for projects requiring a tube shape, like hats and socks.

Fixed needles have a permanent connection between the needle and the cable, while interchangeable needles allow you to change the needle tips and cable lengths.
