Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Knitting at 5.0 against Doodle's 3.5. Knitting also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). Doodle's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
