Hey guys!

I had bought 29" circular needles not realizing that i had gotten the wrong sizes. The instructions say that i should have 16" circular needles in order for me to start my beanie.

Is there anyway possible that i can still use the 29" circular needles?

Hi Milly. Yes, there is a way to work in the round with a 'too long' circular needle. It's called the 'magic loop' method and here's one youtube video of the technique:

There are other 'magic loop' youtube videos so if this one isn't as helpful as you'd like, just search under 'magic loop' till you find a video that works for you.

Lorraine.
