Knitting is the process of using two or more needles to loop yarn into a
series of interconnected loops in order to create a finished garment or
some other type of fabric. The word is derived from knot, thought to
originate from the Dutch verb knutten, which is similar to the Old
English cnyttan, “to knot”. Its origins lie in the basic human need for
clothing for protection against the elements. More recently, hand
knitting has become less a necessary skill and more a hobby.
