Knitting abbreviation - Dpn

Knitting abbreviation Dpn stands for double pointed needles. These needles are used to knit in the round. They have pointy ends on both sides. They come in various sizes and materials. They can be a little difficult to knit with at first, but once you get the hang of managing multiple needles at once, they can be a better option than the magic loop. You will need to be mindful of your tension when moving to the next needle to avoid "ladders".
