==Differences and similarities between knitting and crocheting==
{{unsourced section|date=April 2023}}
While creating knitting by hand, usually two needles are used to hold the live stitches. While crochet uses a single hook, usually creating one stitch at a time, finishing one stitch before creating the next. Knitted fabric tends to be flexible and flowing, the stitches forming a shape that is similar to a "V". Crochet fabric has a more structured feel, each stitch consisting of several loops entwined. Each textile has its specialties and methods. Because of the different nature of each stitch, crochet fabric uses more yarn per stitch, is more structured, and is more flexible in the structures that can be created, not being restrained to create a stitch in the following stitch. Knitted fabric tends to be thinner, more flexible, and usually has easier-to-understand patterns because each new stitch must go into the next stitch. Because of the differences in how the fabrics are created, the first knitting machine was invented in Victorian times, while a machine that can stitch a crochet fabric has yet to be produced. Although different methods, they can create similar projects using the same fibers and yarns.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Peng |first1=Jie |title=The Slow Fashion Renaissance: An In-Depth Exploration of Crochet and Knitting as Sustainable Technologies for Contemporary Fashion |journal=Politecnico |date=2023 |page=27 |url=https://hdl.handle.net/10589/217904}}</ref>
