Is this really considered knitting and not metalworking?
There is no evidence of knitting in the Roman Empire
Those gold wire necklaces were Roman made.

Wire knitting?

I don’t think most knitters would be able to do anything with a bunch of wire, and it doesn’t seem like the dodecahedrons have the kind of wear that wire crafting would entail. I also don’t know that crafting wire into a necklace would necessarily translate to skill in knitting gloves, or even mean people would have the idea for it.

Gloves? In southern Italy? What for?

Those look braided rather than knitted

My bad, call it braiding.
