Knitting and crocheting are both ways of making clothing, blankets, toys, and several other items using yarn. But they differ in several ways including the tools used. Crocheting uses a single hook to create a series of loops hooked together while knitting uses two needles to form loops moving from one needle to the other. Crocheting is generally considered easier as the basic movements are easier to learn. These two methods are considered to be better for making different items. Knitting trumps crocheting when it comes to delicate items like gloves, socks, and sweaters. Crocheting tends to be preferred when creating bulkier items like baskets, hats, and toys. Both are great ways to pass the time and create beautiful items all at once!
