Abstract

In this article, I draw attention to form creation in knitting, and by doing so, I challenge Tim Ingold’s favoring of the morphogenetic over the hylomorphic model. Drawing on research on knitting in Austria, I further argue that in addition to following the materials—which Ingold rightfully advocates for—it is worthwhile to also follow the property of materials.
