Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric; it’s used in many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat or in the round. There are usually many active stitches on the knitting needle at one time.
What is the process of knitting
Knitting is a process of using long needles to interlink or knot a series of loops made by one continuous thread. Each loop or knot connects to another one, and when enough loops have been made, the result is a flat piece of material called a textile.
