I’m making a baby sweater. the directions read use a size 3… then size 5 circular needle/ 24 " I have 29" … Can I use the 29"…
Thanking you in advance.

Is your sweater knitted flat? If so the length of the needle doesn’t matter much. Can you link to your pattern?
Hi, I can’t link the pattern… from the book: Knit Lace and Leaves for baby…
hmmmm… what do you mean flat???
Thanking you in advance…

Looking at the patterns, it looks like all the sweaters are knit “flat”–that is, back and forth on the needles rather than knitting a tube in the round. Your needle would be fine.
The only pattern that might need the circular needle would be the blanket, and the longer needle would be fine for that,too.
ok, Ingrid. I get it. Appreciate your quick response.
Warmly,
cair
Those are very pretty patterns.
