Knitted Graffiti

Knitted graffiti is a form of street art where artists use knitting techniques—like wrapping yarn around objects or creating colorful, textured coverings—to decorate urban environments. Unlike traditional graffiti, which involves spray paint or markers, this method adds a tactile, sculptural element to public spaces. It often aims to transform dull surfaces, such as lampposts, fences, or benches, into vibrant displays of creativity. Knitted graffiti combines craft with activism or artistic expression, temporarily altering the urban landscape and inviting viewers to see familiar objects in a new, artistic light.
