Stichtiefe
Stichtiefe refers to the depth at which a stitch is formed in knitting or crochet. In knitting, it relates to the height of the loop being pulled through an existing stitch. A shallow stichtiefe results in shorter, tighter stitches, while a deep stichtiefe creates longer, looser stitches. This depth is influenced by factors such as yarn thickness, needle or hook size, and the tension applied by the knitter or crocheter. Variations in stichtiefe can significantly alter the drape, texture, and overall appearance of the finished fabric.
In crochet, stichtiefe is more directly observable as the depth to which the hook is inserted into
