Can anyone give me an explanation what is it mean... knit one's brow

Can we say ''He knitted his brow''

And If I say this it means he is angry... he is surprised .. he is excited what???

The past tense can be either knit or knitted.
It means to pull one's eyebrows together, causing wrinkles above the nose :-?.
It can mean that he is either angry or puzzled. When surprised, he would usually raise his brows :-o, not knit them.

Hi brend10,

Knit one’s brow

- wrinkle one's brow by frowning


frowing = showing displeasure or anger

The teacher knit his brow and looked sternly at the child.

sternly = with sternness; in a severe manner


The ticket agent knit his brow when I began to ask questions about the airline routes.


:to form wrinkles on one's brow in a facial expression that shows thought, effort, or concern



Example:
<My mother knit her brow with worry.>
