Knitting Needles is one of the sixRavel Abilities present inKirby's Extra Epic Yarn. When obtained, it givesKirby a hat of yarn which allows him to createyarn balls without having to wrap up an enemy first.
To create a yarn ball, the player should press the B button to trigger Kirby'sYarn Whip without letting it hit a wall. If the button is held and an enemy is ensnared by the whip, the Knitting Needles can be used to weave an even larger yarn ball by combining the enemy with the yarn ball being produced. Yarn balls produced by this ability have the same properties as standard yarn balls made from enemies.
In addition, there are two separate alternate versions of this hat that can be obtained by scanning the Kirby andWaddle Deeamiibo into the game. The former hat is called theStar Hat, while the latter is called theWaddle Dee Hat. Aside from the names and look, they function exactly the same as the regular ability.
