Knitting is the technique of creating fabric by
interlocking loops of yarn, either by hand or machine, using needles. The
process involves casting on starter loops, creating rows of knit stitches
by pulling new loops through existing ones, and finally casting off to
secure the fabric. Basic knit stitches, along with the purl stitch, form
the foundation for a vast array of garments and projects, such as scarves
and coasters, and is a popular craft with both traditional and modern
applications.
