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
