Knitting refers to weaving designs that are used to knit different types of fabric together. Knitting involves multiple and complex loops and it is very difficult to read knitting patterns. There are a couple of differences between knitting and crochet. In crochet technique, a single hook is used for stitching the yarns or threads. Whereas in knitting you can use up to as many hooks as you desire. Generally, two to four needles are used while stitching. The knitting incorporates different threads or yarns to make the cloth colourful and eye-catching.
