With a Yarn Basket, everyone from children to elders can pick up their new favorite hobby. - EA
In order to start knitting, you’ll need to purchase a Yarn Basket from the Build/Buy catalog...
The basket acts as the crafting catalyst(neat term, huh?) similar to the Easel or Woodworking Bench in The Sims 4 base game. But unlike those examples, the Yarn Basket is meant to live in a Sim’s inventory so that they can take their knitting anywhere they want to go. Knitting itself is relatively straightforward: click on the Yarn Basket in your inventory, OR, with the basket in your inventory, click on the chair you want to sit in while knitting (perhaps a rocking chair?) and select the Knit interaction.
Your projects are saved to your Sim, so you can pause your progress at any time and resume later, and even juggle multiple projects at once. Starting a project costs a small amount of Simoleons for the cost of yarn, but nothing too outrageous.
As a Sim levels up their knitting skill they’ll have access to new patterns. ... Sometimes your skill is reflected in your knitted work, or rather your lack of skill. Knitting projects can fail... If you want to destroy all traces of your knitted failures, you can Frog the object and start again! - Deep Dive

Knit clothing for the whole family, or decorate with knitted plant hangers, rugs, and even toys for kids!. - EA
Not only can knitted objects be listed on Plopsy, but you can also Donate them to charity. If you want to surprise a loved one, try Gifting a knitted object too. ... If it's a particularly nice Sweater that you made, consider Adding it to Wardrobe to make it available in Create-A-Sim to all family members. ...Not only will Sims be able to knit Toddler Onesies, but Baby Onesies as well. - Deep Dive
For knitted clothing like sweaters and beanies, Sims will have to create - and unlock - them through gameplay. Once you have finished crafting a knitted project it will be in your Sim’s inventory. Select Add to Wardrobe to unlock that clothing piece for the entire household. So if your knitter extraordinaire Sim knits a really fabulous sweater, everyone in their family can enjoy the fruits of their labor.
...We’re making the crafted clothing visible in Create-a-Sim before you have unlocked it. This way you can browse all the potential knitted items before you craft them. This will help guide you on your Sim’s knitting journey, and show you which skill levels are required to craft certain recipes. - Deep Dive

SHOP ONLINE WITH PLOPSY
The more you knit, the more you can earn on Plopsy, the new online crafting marketplace. List or buy everything from socks to sweaters to paintings and woodworking projects. For a small fee, you can find the perfect buyer to make the most profit, then send it off via your mailbox. - EA
As a bonus, Plopsy offers a higher payout than selling things the old-fashioned way.
Now, if your Sim is more of a shopper than a crafter, you can also use Plopsy to buy unique goods! Plopsy rotates in random crafted items throughout the day, so all your Sims have a chance to get some cool stuff (including the new knitted clothing!). - Community Blog
You can keep track of your listed items in your inventory, where you will see the current duration of the item and if there are any interested buyers.
If someone is interested in buying your item, you’ll be notified with a message. If you agree to the buyer’s offer, you can use the Ship on Plopsy action to ship the object in the mail. You’ll be paid immediately and get a thank you message from the buyer when they receive your package. Alternatively, you can ignore a buyer’s offer and relist the object for sale again.
... We plan for Plopsy to be available for things like paintings, woodworking statues, potions, knitted items, flower arrangements, and more. - Deep Dive

Pop down in one of the four new rocking chair variants to relax, knit, nap or read a book. - EA
Plop down in one of the four new rocking chair variants to chill, knit, nap, or read a book. (Psst: Sims get a bonus to their Knitting Skill while on the rocking chair too!) Sitting in one is quite relaxing for Sims, so uncomfortable, sad, or angry buffs will diminish quicker. [Elder Sims also have a new Reminiscence interaction with the rocking chair, giving them a comfy way to explore their mind palace and fondly remember times of fun, while children and toddlers can play on it. - Community Blog
Sitting in a rocking chair is quite relaxing for Sims, so naturally uncomfortable, sad, or angry buffs will diminish quicker. Sims will also gain a bonus to their Knitting Skill while on the rocking chair.
... If you’re playing as an Elder while they’re Reminiscing, you’ll be able to see glimpses into their mind swirl around them, similar to toddler’s when they play make-believe with toys. What Elders take away from the whole experience is up to their personality traits.
... Both Children and Toddler Sims will have a Play With Rocking Chair interaction, where they can fulfill Fun motives by rocking in an insatiable furor. - Deep Dive

Consider signing your Sim up for the Lord(or Lady) of the Knits Aspiration. ... Master the Aspiration and you’ll be rewarded with the Sacred Knitting Knowledge trait. - Deep Dive

Did somebody mention a new Metal music station? We did! Sims listening to Metal feel Energized and gain bonuses to Knitting while they listen—so don’t be alarmed if you see your Sim jamming on an air guitar. - Community Blog
First off is our aptly named Focus stereo station. And if you’re wondering, yes it will give you a Focused buff. Not only will it calm your earbuds, but also give your Sims a nice bonus to working on Homework and Knitting, neat huh? So if you just need to simmer down, the Focus station is here for you.
... Introducing the Metal stereo station, coming soon to a Stuff Pack near you!
Yes, you heard that right. The Sims 4 is getting Metal. Sims listening to Metal will feel Energized, and will gain bonuses to Knitting while they listen. Any stereo currently playing Metal will also gain some new flair for the available interactions... Wait, does that say AIR GUITAR TO METAL?
Cats can play with Yarn Baskets and Yarn Balls, there will be new Club rules for Knitting, new class electives at University, and knitting counts for Emotional Control. - Deep Dive
