unknittable
Resistant to needles
Unable to be knitted.
Some materials or yarn types are unknittable due to texture, slipperiness, or structural properties: The fiber was so coarse it was practically unknittable.
Patterns may also be described as unknittable when they're impossibly complex or contain errors that prevent completion.
