Guerilla knitting

Guerilla knitting is an informal form of street art where knitters, known as "urban knitters" or "guerrilla knitters," create colorful knitting or crochet projects and secretly attach them to public structures like benches, poles, trees, or statues. The goal is to surprise and delight viewers, often transforming everyday urban spaces into playful, artistic environments. It is typically done without official permission, highlighting creativity and community engagement, and aims to add a whimsical, human touch to the cityscape while raising awareness of public art and fostering a sense of shared ownership.
