, and Knitting Needle s]] Knitting is a craft by which 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, at the same time, and crochet uses a single tool, a Crochet Hook , instead of a minimum of two Knitting Needle s. The active stitches are held on a 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 methods. 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 seamless tube. Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products, by giving the final piece different colour, texture, weight or integrity.
