Kilim Knitting is a historical art and an traditional ancient way for Azerbaijani people (especially Ardebil) for making money. 

There was an old famous mosque in Ardebil’s Musalla (a place where Muslims pray together and socially) where Shah Esmaeel, the leaser of Safavi Dynasty was buried. This mosque is known as the source of first Ardebil kilims for Europeans, since Vincent Robinson a European merchant brought a Kilim from to his country

ilims are different regarding their knitting and weaving methods from carpets. Persian Carpets are knitted on the frames called Daar, but Kilims are knitted on the ground and without any frame.
This is the reason why Kilims may have some problems in their accuracy regarding the design and the around margins. But this make them look completely natural and more alive than carpets.Also Carpets knitted from exact designs with scales but Kilims are knitted more sensual.
