Made by interlocking loops of yarn with needles; having been created through the process of knitting. Can also describe something tightly connected or joined together.
From Old English 'cnyttan' meaning 'to knot,' related to 'cnotta' (knot). The craft evolved from simple knotting techniques, with the modern knitting process developing in medieval times through Arabic and Spanish influences.
Knitting was actually invented much later than weaving - it only appeared around the 5th century CE, likely in Egypt or the Middle East. What's remarkable is that the basic knitting stitch (knit and purl) hasn't changed in over 1,000 years, making it one of humanity's most enduring technologies.
