Knitted fabrics are made by interlinking loops of yarn. Lengthwise loops are called ribs, while crosswise loops (stitches) are sometimes called courses. Most knits are stable lengthwise but stretch crosswise, hence follow the curves of the body.

Common examples of knitted fabrics include :

• Balbriggan
  
• Bouclé
• Crepe
• Double knit
• Eyelash
  
• Fleece
• Helanca
  
• Interlock
• Jersey
• Polo cloth
  
• Raschel Knit
  
• Tricot
• Velour
• Worsted
