I know knitting makes clothes but can you make clothes out of crochet too?
In: Other
crochet requires only one, hooked needle. It only has a single unsecured loop at a time, which is held on the single needle.
knitting requires two needles. It has a whole row of unsecured loops, which are all held on one or both needles.
You can make clothes out of both.

They are different forms of hooking, looping, and knotting long strands of (typically) yarn together. Either can be used to make little patterns in color or texture, for building just about any cloth or fabric purpose, such as clothes.
Knitting is done with longer, straight “needles” (they’re pointy, but not like on a syringe). Crocheting is done with a hook at the end of their tool. Both take one part of a strand, or a separate strand, and twist around another part or separate strand, building on previous work as the project progresses.
The patterns for knit materials tend to be more uniform over large planes, while crochet patterns more often have gaps and texture. However, both can do either.
