Synonyms & antonyms
  • SynonymニットNeutralA loanword for knitted fabric or knitted garments, as in 「ニット帽」; unlike 「編み物」 it names the item or material, not the activity of knitting.
  • Related編地あみじNeutralThe knitted fabric itself, whether handmade or machine-knit; it refers to the material only, never to the activity of knitting.
  • Antonym織物おりものNeutralFabric made by interweaving threads lengthwise and crosswise — the opposite technique to 「編み物」, which is built up in loops.

Use 「編み物」 for knitting with yarn or for what you knit. For knitted garments choose 「ニット」, and for the knitted fabric itself 「編地」. 「織物」 is woven fabric, made by crossing threads rather than looping them.
