Why it makes a good gift
Best for : A knitter who knits hats and sleeves in the round.
Best occasion : Christmas, a birthday.
Why it works : A knitter who works in the round will reach for these on every hat; the golden birch and the case make it a real present rather than one more pair of needles bought in passing.
Avoid if : They knit mostly sweaters or blankets on long circulars: this short-tip set only makes 16-inch needles.
