Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral. Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric from a one-dimensional yarn or thread.

During knitting, the active stitches are secured mechanically, either from individual hooks (in knitting machines) or from a knitting needle or frame in hand-knitting. Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns. After all, it is the experience of knitting that we are seeking, more so than the finished-object.

The spun fibers are generally divided into animal fibers, plant and synthetic fibers. For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters. Since the craft is quite simple, it caught on and spread to other cultures rather quickly.
