knitted

Made with needles

Knitted describes something made by interlocking loops of yarn or thread, whether by hand with needles or by machine: a knitted sweater, knitted blankets.

The word also appears figuratively for things closely joined or unified: knitted brows describe a furrowed forehead, and a tightly knitted community suggests strong social bonds.
