One of the most frustrating things in knitting is pulling your knitting out of your bag to find that your needle has pulled out and dropped a chunk of stitches. With this case, you will never suffer this fate again! As a bonus, there is a built-in compartment to hold a darning needle and the lines on the outside of the case serve as a ruler (in either inches or centimeters).
Sizing:
Included are separate files with three options for length (Short, MedLength, Long) and 5 diameters (XS, S, M, L, XL).
- Short: needles 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) long
- MedLength: needles 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) long
- Long: needles 10-16 inches (25-40 cm) long
The short holder and XS/S diameters generally work well for double pointed needles and the Medium and Long holders with M/L/XL diameters generally work well for straight needles. I like to have the hole on the side large enough that I can slip my work in without pulling the end off completely. Then I slide it in until it it fairly tight on the needles inside to lock the needles inside.
- XS: for small (size 0-4) double pointed needles). The holder has an inner diameter of 0.5" (1.3 cm).
- S: for larger (size 5 or bigger) double pointed needles. Inner diameter: .75" (1.9 cm) diameter.
- M: for small straight needles with small end caps. Inner diameter: 1" (2.5 cm) diameter.
- L: for medium sized straight needles. Inner diameter: 1.25" (3.2 cm) diameter.
- XL: for large sized straight needles with larger end caps. Inner diameter: 1.5" (3.8 cm) diameter.
If you want to be able to make a holder that fits your needles just right, the parametric file is also provided.
Printing tips:
These printed well standing up with 0.2mm layer height without supports in PLA and PETG. Printing them with a fuzzy skin increases the friction a bit and works well to to keep the pieces from accidentally sliding apart but if you plan to use the fuzzy skin option in the slicer, use the files with larger (0.2 mm) tolerances.
