Nålebinding "binding with a needle" or "needle-binding" is a fabric creation technique predating both knitting and crochet. The oldest found artifact was 6500 B.C.
Also known in English as "knotless netting," "knotless knitting," or "single needle knitting," the technique is distinct from crochet in that it involves passing the full length of the working thread through each loop, unlike crochet where the work is formed only of loops, never involving the free end.
A common Viking era tool for making garments.
