10 Reasons Knitting Is Better Than Crochet

1. The process of knitting looks more complicated than the process of crocheting. Muggles are impressed by a knitter's ability to manipulate two (or four, or five) needles at the same time.
2. There are a lot more fashionable knitting patterns than fashionable crochet patterns. A lot more.
3. Knitting produces an incredible stretchy fabric with fabulous drape.
4. Knitting needles can be stylish hair accessories. Crochet hooks? Not so much.
5. When it comes down to it, there are only two knit stitches: knit and purl. Crochet has a gazillion different stitches to learn.
6. Knitting is the best method for making sweaters. Really, how many crocheted sweaters do you own?
   
7. Many yarn store owners/employees will treat knitters better than crocheters. It's true.
8. In knitting, it's possible to fix an error made several rows down without unraveling every stitch made since the error. Crocheters must rip all the way back, or else learn to live with the mistake.
9. How many knitting patterns are there for ruffly toilet paper covers? None? Case closed.
10. Knitting generally uses a bit less yarn than crocheting, so it's easy to justify buying that cashmere.
