Specific steps and precautions for knitting sweater design

Nowadays, sweaters are becoming like jeans, and they are always at the forefront of fashion and are becoming more and more popular. So, what steps do you need to take to design a stylish and desirable knit sweater?


The production process of sweaters mainly includes weaving (flat knitting machine, circular knitting machine), garment making, finishing, etc. The specific requirements are as follows:


Tools/raw materials


Wool, computerized flat knitting machine (round machine), sewing machine , dyeing materials



Step / method


First, sample analysis, that is, based on the sample data, determine the yarn count , color, machine number, fabric organization and density of the raw material , and determine the shrinkage rate and finished product density of the fabric through experimental samples. According to the sample and contract requirements, the specifications and sizes are determined, and the single-piece material quota and auxiliary materials are initially determined. The theoretical calculation of the weaving operation process sheet of the flat knitting machine product, or the fabric door width of the circular machine product according to the style and specifications, and the syringe size.


Then, initially determine the retraction rate, calculate the first draft of the scare process for sample production; based on the sample product, analyze and identify the sample product, determine the production process (including flat knitting machine, circular machine, cutting and discharging plan) And finishing, etc. Calculate the weight of the piece or the weight of the single piece of discharge area, the loss rate and the amount of used hair; determine the cutting template of the flat knitting machine product and the discharging method according to the sample.


Finally, the garment process and requirements are formulated. The flat knitting machine product calculates the theoretical weight of the unit product according to the weight of the fabric unit coil and the number of coils of each piece. Calculate the raw material consumption of the single-piece product of the flat knitting machine, and formulate the quality requirements of the semi-finished products woven by the flat knitting machine. Formulate the sewing process and quality requirements, formulate the dyeing and finishing process and quality requirements, and determine the product weight, trademark, and packaging form.


Of course, in this series of design processes, some places must pay attention to it. For example, in order to ensure the quality requirements of the products, it is necessary to first test and then determine the process, first seal the sample, and then put the sample into production, after a small batch production. The process can be verified before mass production.


At the same time, in terms of craftsmanship, because the stretchability of the knitted fabric is very good, the process of pleating, seaming and splicing designed for the shape can be minimized when the model design is performed. Moreover, knitted fabrics are generally not suitable for the use of techniques such as retraction and ironing, but the elasticity of the fabric itself or the proper use of the wrinkle technique to achieve a suitable curve for the human body. Then the flexibility of the fabric becomes a very important basis for the design of the model.
