Fusing the art of crochet and knitting for creating sustainable clothing and eco-friendly apparel

Abstract

This paper explores sustainable fashion and eco-friendly materials, focusing on mixed knitting and crochet techniques to create unique designs. The methodology involves studying patterns and experimenting with different stitch combinations. The research results show that mixing these techniques helps to produce intricate textures not achievable alone. The usage of natural materials such as organic cotton, wool, and linen for products made in mixed techniques allows for highlighting their sustainability benefits. The authors analyse ethical practices to ensure sustainable production.
