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

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

Ensure your drawings include front, back, and side views with labeled construction elements

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

Material specifications are non-negotiable—list the exact yarn composition, including fiber percentages, weight per skein, and thickness

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

Always reference the vendor or mill to ensure consistency across production runs

The integrity of the final garment depends heavily on yarn consistency; small deviations can lead to fit failures

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

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

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

Define acceptable variance: ±3mm for sleeve length, ±5mm for body length

A half-centimeter shift in shoulder width can make a Women's sweater feel too tight or too loose

Detail the seam construction method: flat-felled, overlock, chain stitch, or hand-sewn finish

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

Always indicate label positioning, orientation, and attachment method

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

Set measurable QC standards to ensure consistency across batches

Reference relevant industry standards like ASTM, ISO, or AATCC where applicable

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

Remember: knitwear design is forgiving, but knitwear execution is merciless—clarity and precision are your only allies
