Knitting is often associated with relaxation and stress relief.
The repetitive motions of knitting can be very calming and meditative, similar to mindfulness exercises or yoga.
The rhythmic clicking of needles and the focus required to follow a pattern can help to quiet the mind and reduce racing thoughts. Additionally, the tactile sensation of working with yarn can be soothing and provide a sense of grounding.

Studies have shown that knitting can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels, which are all hormones associated with stress.
It can also help to improve sleep quality and reduce anxiety symptoms.
