Here’s how you knit a small round with Double Pointed Knitting Needles
. It’s actually very simple.

First you cast all the stitches onto 1 needle. (Some people prefer to cast all the stitches directly onto 3 needles at the first round, I find this cumbersome because the stitches between the needles tend to get loose easily).
As you knit the first round, you distribute the row equally onto 3 needles. Try to tighten the stitches a little more between the needles because that is where the stitches tend to stretch most. And voila, there you go. You’re now knitting a circle!
I find it easier to knit with double pointed needles compared with the circular knitting needles but it’s all a matter of preference. Some people prefer to use the circular knitting needles instead because it’s hard to hold so many needles in the first few rounds. I’d say it’s better to learn both methods because each method has its own plus points and it’s good to be versatile.

Ps: These needles can also be multifunctional. I also use both the circular needles and double pointed needles as a cable needle and stitch holders. The investment is really worth it. Cheers.
