Hi everyone…Where do you find a “circ” smaller than 16"? Do they make em? Is that when the “interchangeable ones” come into play? Cause I do lots of hats for charity…The smallest circ I have is 16", but that’s to big for toddles/babies…so I usually have to use dpn’s or seam them up…any thoughts? Thanks Cheley

I think circs shorter than 16’’ do exist, but they’re not common. Interchangeables don’t have smaller than 16’’ to my knowledge.

If you don’t want to use dpns I suppose you could use the 2 circs method or the magic loop method.

I’ve seen 12" circs in my LYS. I think Addi makes them. Someone at my knit night once brought in an 8" circ. It made my fingers cramp up just watching her trying to work those. I don’t know where she got them though.
