In everyday life and stories, knitted jumpers, scarves and hats are warm handmade gifts. In maths, knitting patterns use rows and stitches: 20 rows of 30 stitches is 600 stitches. In science, bones knit back together after a break. Phrases: hand-knitted, knitted jumper, close-knit, knitted her brows.
