Many knitters don't think of using circular needles unless the garment is knit in the round. But, there are advantages to knitting any garment back and forth using a circular needle.

1. Circular needles are easier to store in your knitting bag and you are less likely to have stitches slip off.

2. A lot more stitch can be held than on a regular pair.

3. It is easier to measure your garment of circular needles because there is more capability of spreading out the garment.

4. A lot easier and safer to use circulars, if you knit in tight spaces such as in a waiting room, on an airplane or on a car trip.

5. And  best of all, you won't lose that 'other needle' down the side of your sofa cushion!
