Crochet Costs More Than Knitting—Here’s Why It’s Worth It!

Crochet and knit are not the same!
Yeah, you read that right. While both are handmade, crochet and knitting are not the same. They are two entirely different handmade fiber arts with entirely different instruments used. So, if you are wondering why crochet items cost more than knitted items, you are actually comparing two different things.
Two major differences:
1. Tools used
The most obvious difference between crochet and knitting is the tools used:
Crochet: In crochet, a single hook is used to pull loops through one another.
Knitting: In knitting, two needles are used to create interlocking loops that stay on the needle until finished.
Knitting needles are often long and come in pairs, while crochet hooks have a small hook at one end, making each craft distinct from the get-go!
2. Stitching Techniques used
The way stitches are formed is another major difference:
In crochet, work is done with one active loop at a time, meaning more focus and precision on each stitch.
In knitting, work is done with multiple loops, meaning focus has to remain on both the needles at the same time, making dropped stitches a potential disaster!
More insight -
While knitting is best for short-term use, the more structured nature of crochet makes it durable and long-lasting. Handmade crochet amigurumi toys stay firm and adorable because of the tight stitches of crochet. The dense nature of crochet makes the resulting fabric softer and firmer. Thus, unlike knitted toys, crochet toys never get stretchy or loose, resulting in the stuffing coming out. This also implies that the toy's safety eyes and stitched details stay securely in place, making crochet the best choice for your kids.
