Knit graffiti

Knit graffiti, also known as yarn bombing, is a form of street art where artists decorate public spaces by wrapping or attaching colorful knitted or crocheted textiles onto objects like trees, poles, benches, or statues. Unlike traditional graffiti, which typically involves paint or spray, knit graffiti uses soft, temporary materials to create visual designs that beautify and add personality to urban environments. It is often intended to surprise viewers, encourage community engagement, and highlight the artistic potential of everyday objects. The practice is generally non-destructive, environmentally friendly, and aims to blend art with public and outdoor spaces.
