Test Knit

BECOMING A TEST KNITTER...

​

Each design is born from an idea, an inspiration that designers try to materialize with stitches, adding textures and shapes through the rhythm of the needles.

The next step is the writing of the pattern. It is the technical side of the process. It is where numbers click to create an identical design for various sizes.

Tech editor brings his keen eye, double-checking numbers, and the clarity of the instructions.

​

Then, the pattern is ready for test knitting.

Test knitting is essential before every pattern release.

It is the final and necessary step before publishing. And provide to the designer the feedback for the last modifications and corrections before the release.

 

Through a platform of exchange (SLACK group. Only an email address is necessary to register), the designer and test knitters are free to share info and questions
