Break from knitting a pullover (3)

I believe the answer is:

gap

'break' is the definition.
(a gap is a break in something)

'from knitting a pullover' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'GAP' is hidden within 'knitting a pullover'.

(Other definitions for gap that I've seen before include "Cleft" , "Narrow opening" , "Disparity" , "Aperture" , "Narrow space" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
