Both crafts use a needle or hook to manipulate loops of yarn to create items from sweaters and blankets to hats and toys. The two yarn crafts share many similarities and common elements, but they are also quite different in terms of techniques and results. Knitting and crocheting both require similar skill sets, such as hand-eye coordination, an eye for color and design, an affinity for fiber, and the ability to patiently plan a project from start to finish.
