Knittel, Knittelvers, is a kind of Germanic verse meter which originated in Germany during the Middle Ages. It requires rhymes or assonances. One can distinguish between strict knittel with eight or nine syllables on each line, and free knittel without this criterion.

In Swedish it is used in Erikskrönikan.
