Standard Garment Styling

Knitwear design programs can be fun! Select from a range of standard garments, apply standard size tables or your own measurements, and adjust the styling features. Garments designed in this way can be knitted as they are, or used as a starting point for your own original design in Original Pattern Drafting.

Here are the main stages in making a design. In this example we’ll choose a cardigan with set-in sleeves. Centimetres or inches can be used throughout.

Choosing a standard garment…

A garment can be based on a standard size or on a set of body measurements that you have stored on file.

For this example we’ll take a standard size…

The standard size can then be adjusted to fit a particular person, or a completely new set of measurements can be entered.  

The basic garment is then displayed along with a sleeve piece.

A variety of styling features can then be selected. Here a shoulder drop is being specified.

Sleeve cap dimensions can be adjusted for gathers or extra fullness.

The garment is now ready to integrate with stitch patterns in Stitch Designer, develop the shaping further in Original Pattern Drafting, take into Interactive Knitting, or print out knitting instructions.

Skirts too!

There’s a choice of symmetric and asymmetric skirts, with a range of styling features…
