As a professional knitwear designer, this feels like an important time to give back to the crafting and knitting community. Every designer follows a different set of steps. I’m sharing my steps for running a test knit here.
I use this checklist for each test knit. It is 2 pages of easy to follow steps to help you along the way. I even included a sample End of Test Knit Questionnaire. I hope sharing my process can help others run their own test knits.
I also shared a Designing a Knitwear Pattern Checklist here. I’m currently working on additional checklists for Focusing Your Idea and Publishing Your Pattern. Look for more information about these checklists over the next few months.
