Morphology

knitted = knit (transparent) = knit + ed

A straightforward adjectival/past-participial formation from the verb 'knit'; the meaning 'made by knitting' is directly derived.

Etymology

Knitted comes from the old verb knit, which used to mean 'to tie' or 'knot', just like the word knot. So knitted describes fabric made by tying yarn into many small loops and knots, which is why knitted clothes are warm and soft.
