Circular Knitting Patterns

Our new circular knitting collection brings together the latest Phildar patterns for knitting in the round with circular needles. This technique almost entirely eliminates seams and assembly: the piece takes shape in one go, and you can try it on as you go to adjust the length or fit. Whether you're a beginner discovering circular knitting or an experienced knitter, everyone will find a pattern suited to their level, with a complete list of supplies to order with a single click.

Circular Knitting: What to Create?

This category includes various types of patterns, from top-down sweaters to quickly knitted accessories. Each circular knitting pattern comes with its instructions, technical sheet, and supplies:

• Round yoke or raglan sweaters, knitted top-down or bottom-up, with no shoulder or side seams;

• Cardigans and jackets, knitted in one piece for a neat and regular finish;

• Tanks and tops, quick to knit in the round for the warmer season;

• Hats, snoods, and cowls, perfect for a first project on circular needles.

Why Choose Circular Knitting?

Knitting in the round offers several advantages. You almost always work on the right side, making stockinette stitch more even and simplifying jacquard patterns. The piece comes off the needles almost finished, with no assembly. Circular needles also distribute the weight of the knitting on the cable, relieving wrist strain on larger projects. To get started, check out our selection of circular needles, available in various cable lengths and diameters.
