knittable

Suitable for stitching

Knittable describes yarn, fiber, or material suitable for knitting—pliable enough to work with needles and sturdy enough to hold stitches: Is this handspun wool knittable, or is it too loosely twisted?

By extension, a pattern or design is knittable if it can reasonably be executed: The lace pattern looked beautiful but wasn't really knittable for a beginner.
