Knitting versus crocheting, there is always a question of which should you choose to learn? Both are methods of stitching yarn together, just in different styles.
Knitting
Stitches form a V
Requires a pair of long needles to form loops, moving a set of loops from one needle to another; the stitches are held on the needle.
Crochet
Stitches are more like knots.
Requires a hook to hook the loops together directly on the piece.
The differences make crocheting much easier to work than knitting.
For beginners who seek convenience and versatility it is suggested that you learn to crochet. For those looking to master a wider range of tools, it is suggested that you learn to knit.
