Cross-stitch is a form of sewing and a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture.

The stitcher counts the threads on a piece of evenweave fabric (such as linen) in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance.

This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch.

Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern.

Cross-stitch is also executed on easily countable fabric called aida cloth but the threads are not actually counted.

Crochet is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook.

The name is derived from the French term "crochet", meaning small hook.

These are made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic and are manufactured commercially and produced in artisan workshops.

The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with the next one, while knitting keeps a large number of stitches open at a time.

(Variant forms such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time).

Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery in which yarn is stitched through a stiff open weave canvas.

Most needlepoint designs completely cover the canvas.

Although needlepoint may be worked in a variety of stitches, many needlepoint designs use only a simple tent stitch and rely upon color changes in the yarn to construct the pattern.

Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric.

Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube.

Knitting has multiple active stitches on the needle at one time.

Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of interlocking loops.

As each row progresses, a newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row, placed on the gaining needle, and the loops from the prior row are then pulled off the other needle.

Clothing (also called clothes and attire) is fiber and textile material worn on the body.

The wearing of clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of nearly all human societies.

The amount and type of clothing worn depends on body type, social, and geographic considerations.

Some clothing types can be gender-specific.
