The definition of knitting is a process of fabric formation by producing a series of intermeshed loops, Knitting is the production of a series of the loop which is connected together
In the case of hand knitting, it is the process of inter looping
Two different types of knitting methods are warp and weft knitting. In weft knitting, the movement of the yarn is from left to right which is along the weft direction or fabric width direction. In the case of warp knitting, the movement of yarn is along the length direction which is similar to the warp direction in the woven fabric. Depending on the movement of yarn, we differentiate these two fabric structures, warp knitting, and weft knitting. The loops are quite stable in weft knitting but the loop structure in warp knitting is completely different because of the nature of intermeshing.
