knitwork

Looped yarn fabric

Knitwork is fabric or material produced by knitting—the interlocking of loops of yarn or thread.

The term covers both the process and its products: The sweater's intricate knitwork took months to complete.

It can describe decorative or structural knitted elements in clothing, crafts, or textiles.
