Knitwear refers to clothing made from knitted fabrics. Knitting is a process in which yarn is looped and then cut, creating interlocking stitches that form a fabric with an open texture. Knitwear can be made from various materials such as cotton, wool, silk or synthetic fibers, and it comes in many styles including sweaters, cardigans, pullovers, dresses, pants, and more. The versatility of knitting allows for a wide range of designs and patterns to be created, making knitwear an essential part of many fashion collections.
