knits

Creates with needles

Knits are knitted garments—sweaters, scarves, hats, and similar items made by interlocking loops of yarn: She packed her warmest knits for the trip.

The word also serves as the verb form: She knits while watching television.

Someone who knits well or poorly knits a tight stitch or knits loosely.
