Small article produced by an erratic knitter? (7)
I believe the answer is:
trinket
'small article' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'an erratic knitter?' is the wordplay.
'an erratic' is an anagram indicator.
'knitter' with letters rearranged gives 'TRINKET'.
'produced by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trinket that I've seen before include "Bauble, geegaw" , "Inexpensive ornament" , "Ornamental item of little worth" , "Small fancy article for knitter" , "Small piece of jewellery of little value" .)
