Knitting is a way thread or yarn may be turned into cloth. Similar to crochet, knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. Knitting differs from crochet in that multiple stitches are "active", or in use. The active stitches are held on a knitting needle until another loop can be passed through them with a second needle.

Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. By hand, there are numerous styles and means for knitting. Some of these produce an entirely different end-product; some produce very similar results. Flat knitting, which is done on two straight needles, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a tube of cloth.

Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products, by giving the final piece different colour, texture, or integrity.
