Q: I have 5 inch ChiaoGoo needles and I want to knit a hat in the round. How can I make a 16 inch cable?

Asked by: Kim - 7/24/2023
A: To make a 16" circular you will need 4" tips and an 8" cable. You can NOT make a 16" circular with 5" tips. Attaching them (the 5" tips) to the 8" cable will make an 18" circular and you'll barely be able to bring the tips together to knit with.

Q: Hi, I would like to purchase a 6 inch red twist cable to fit my large needles to knit hats but cannot find any nowhere. Would you have this size? I have the 8 inch cables but would rather have a shorter cable the 6 inch one. If you have these in large, would I need something else to go with it? Thank you.

Asked by: Yvonne - 2/10/2020
A: We have ChiaoGoo 6" cables available in Mini and Small joins. The Mini cables are red and the Small cables are the Blue X-Flex.

To work with Large join tips you would need the L-to-S Adapter and the Blue X-Flex cables. Your needle tips will also need to be 3" or shorter to make a functional circular.

Q: Do these cables work with the old Boye interchananle needles?

Asked by: Judith - 8/6/2016
A: Hi, We do not know if these cables are compatible with Boye interchangeable needles. We haven't used the Boye needles ourselves. You may want to visit the forum Knitter's Paradise and ask your question there. We only recommend using the ChiaoGoo IC cables with the ChiaoGoo IC tips. Thank you for asking.
Answer provided by: Handsome Fibers (8/6/2016)
A: Yes, I use these cables with my Boye set, and they work wonderfully! You'll need to buy a set of size S connectors, too. I bought a set of connectors to go with each cable I purchased, so I can just store them together.
