A well-structured tech pack is the foundation for accurately producing knitwear that meets design intent and production standards

Knitwear’s inherent flexibility, elasticity, and texture require more nuanced specifications than traditional woven materials

A comprehensive tech pack bridges the gap between concept and reality, aligning all stakeholders on fit, finish, and function

The purpose and target market directly shape material selection, stitch complexity, and construction techniques

Understanding who will wear it informs material performance, aesthetic tone, and durability requirements

Include precise flat sketches from all critical angles: front, back, side, and optional detail views

Each sketch should meticulously show stitch lines, edge treatments, and any ornamental knitting techniques

Specify every component of the yarn, from natural to synthetic content, with exact weights and thickness metrics

For example: a 70% merino wool

Whenever possible, name the yarn brand and approved supplier

Knitwear performance hinges on yarn behavior—even minor shifts in fiber type or ply can dramatically impact drape, stretch, and hand feel

The gauge determines fabric density: lower gauge for bulkier knits, higher gauge for fine, structured pieces

Note the number of needles per inch and whether it’s a single or double bed machine

Clearly define the start and end points of each pattern repeat with precise measurements

Accurate flat measurements are mandatory to ensure proper fit across sizes and factories

Indicate clearly: "Measurements taken flat, un-stretched" or "Measured with 10% stretch applied"

Specify allowable tolerances—e.g., ±0.5 cm for key areas

Precision is paramount—knitwear has no forgiving seams; accuracy defines success

Specify joining techniques to ensure durability and aesthetic consistency

Call out whether flatlock, overlock, or coverstitch is mandatory for each seam

Include notes on finishing touches: hemming techniques, bias binding, rolled edges, or reinforced cuffs

Label placement is critical—specify exact locations for care labels, size tags, and women sweater brand logos

Include packaging details: "Pack in anti-static polybags," "Insert acid-free tissue," "Use reinforced hangers"

Set measurable QC standards to ensure consistency across batches

Include industry benchmarks to validate testing methods and expectations

A robust tech pack eliminates ambiguity, prevents misinterpretation, and minimizes costly production errors

Always get feedback from an experienced knitter or technical consultant prior to sending to production

Early review catches errors before they multiply, saving time, money, and morale

In knitwear, the difference between good and great lies entirely in the documentation’s accuracy
