I'm a beginner knitter too. The panta was my first project with increases, decreases and a pattern to read.
But I bought some really large (10mm) bamboo dpns and with SWS which knits really easily, I'm finding that the dpns are really easy to use. Surprisingly easy actually.
Get something super soft and a larger needle size. Maybe it will help.
