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 meticulously crafted tech pack acts as the definitive blueprint for manufacturers, ensuring seamless alignment across design, sampling, and production teams

First, define the garment’s role: is it casual streetwear, activewear, or high-end fashion?

Your target demographic will influence everything from yarn weight to finishing details

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

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

30% nylon blend at 220g per skein

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

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

If using circular or flatbed machines, specify the configuration and needle arrangement

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

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

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

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

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

Define seam finishes with intent: "Flatlock for minimal bulk," "Coverstitch for clean edge," "Hand-sewn for luxury detail"

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

fail thresholds: "Max 2 pilling dots per 10cm²," "Shrinkage no more than 3% after wash"

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

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

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