If you would rather not swap to double-pointed needles at the crown, you can work the last rounds using Magic Loop on a longer 4mm circular instead, though the first few rounds after the switch are fiddly either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you knit with interchangeables, note that 40cm circulars need the short special tips.
