The feud between knitters and crocheters has existed probably as long as the crafts themselves. While this rivalry is lighthearted, there are some big differences between the two crafts that some might not realize. The various stitches used by the two crafts, for instance, really make the biggest difference in the final product. But there are other factors, too. Crocheters often brag that crocheting is faster (which it usually is). They also like that crochet often makes lighter, more draping fabric than knitting does. Crochet is also a little bit more flexible in terms of the types of wool, yarn, and thread you can use. Knitters, on the other hand, like the feel of knitted fabric, especially for sweaters, scarves, and cowls. Plus, knitting is trendier (no offense, crocheters).
