A knitting needle includes a hook point having an upper face, lateral portions, and a rear portion. The knitting needle has an at least approximately oval cross section, at least in portions, at the hook point, in order to improve the knitting needle in terms of structure and/or function.

The invention relates to a knitting needle, in particular for producing knitwear with cable patterns, having at least one rigid needle tip and a shank on which the knitwear can be arranged at least regionally. The invention now proposes that the shank consist at least regionally of a material that is reversibly plastically deformable by bending in very different directions, wherein the transition between the shank and needle tip is flush and smooth. Furthermore, the invention proposes a method for producing such a knitting needle.

A knitting needle or knitting needle assembly may include a cable having opposite ends, with first and second cylindrical members coupled to the opposite ends, respectively. At least one of the first and second cylindrical members may be coupled to its respective end of the cable such that the cylindrical member swivels about its longitudinal axis with respect to the cable to permit relative rotation between the respective cylindrical member and the cable. One or both cylindrical members may define a cavity generally enclosing its respective cable end. Alternatively or in addition, one or both cylindrical member may define a first end bore receiving the cable, and a second end bore at an opposite end thereof, with the second end bore defining a radially inwardly facing thread configured to mate with a radially outwardly facing thread of the cable.

A knitting needle or knitting needle assembly may include a braided metal cable having opposite ends, with first and second cylindrical members coupled to the opposite ends, respectively. Each of the cylindrical members may have a respective longitudinal axis extending along a cylindrical body thereof. At least one of the first and second cylindrical members may be coupled to its respective end of the cable such that the cylindrical member swivels about its longitudinal axis with respect to the cable to permit relative rotation between the respective cylindrical member and the cable. Additionally, the cylindrical member may define a first radially extending surface that prevents axial translation of the cable with respect to the cylindrical member while permitting relative rotation of the cylindrical member about the cable.
