Knitted fabric

Knitted fabric is a piece of clothing or fabric that is made by knitting yarn together. Knitting is kind of like using big needles to weave yarn together.

Imagine you have a piece of yarn in one hand and you make a loop with it. Then you take the second piece of yarn and make another loop through the first one. You keep doing this over and over until you have a long string of loops.

Now, imagine that instead of using your hands, you have really big needles. You take the yarn and you weave it back and forth through those big needles. This is called “knitting.”

The result will be a piece of fabric that is stretchy, like a sweater or a scarf. You can also make different patterns and designs by changing the way you weave the yarn together.

So, in summary, knitted fabric is made by looping yarn together with big needles using a technique called “knitting.” The end result is a stretchy and sometimes decorative piece of clothing or fabric.
