Developing a detailed tech pack for knitwear is indispensable for turning design concepts into reproducible, high-quality apparel

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

This document serves as the single source of truth for everyone involved—from creative directors to factory workers—guaranteeing consistency in execution

Begin by clarifying the garment’s intended use and primary audience—is it a relaxed, everyday knit or a premium, luxury item?

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

Provide clear, annotated technical flats showing front, rear, and profile perspectives

These illustrations must clearly indicate seam placements, hem finishes, neckline shapes, and decorative motifs like cables, Women's sweater lace, or Fair Isle patterns

Accurately detail the yarn blend: fiber content, count, grams per skein, and ply structure

Example: 65% cashmere, 35% silk, 180g per hank, 2-ply

Include the manufacturer’s name and batch reference if available

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

Specify the knitting machine type and its gauge—5-gauge yields a loose, open knit, while 12-gauge creates a tight, dense fabric

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

If your design incorporates varied stitch patterns—ribbing, jacquard, Fair Isle, or intarsia—mark exactly where each begins and ends, using centimeters or inches

Always include a measurement table with all key dimensions: bust, waist, hip, armhole depth, and total length

Always state whether measurements are taken flat or stretched—knitwear behaves differently under tension

Tolerance thresholds must be explicitly stated per dimension to avoid costly deviations

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

Detail all edge treatments: double-fold hems, picot edges, elasticized bands, or tubular finishes

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

Protect knitwear from snags—specify packaging materials that prevent abrasion and deformation

Set measurable QC standards to ensure consistency across batches

Cite compliance standards: "Follow ISO 6330 for wash testing," "Comply with AATCC 150 for pilling"

A flawless tech pack removes guesswork, reduces sampling cycles, and ensures factory compliance

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

A single review session now can eliminate dozens of revisions down the line

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