Trade tips

  • A left-chest print on a T-shirt is usually 8–10 cm wide; a centre-front print about 25–30 cm.
  • Start the print about 7–9 cm below the collar so it sits right when worn.
  • Stretch and dark fabrics change how a print looks: always make one sample first.
  • Dark garments need a white underbase under the print, or colours go dull.

What is the knit cardigan sample printed on?

The sample is knitwear (cotton / acrylic / wool blend) 300 gsm, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.

Construction

A knit cardigan is an open-front knitted garment with a V-neck, a button band down the front, and rib at the hem and cuffs. Body and sleeves are usually fully fashioned — knitted to shape piece by piece on a flatbed machine — then linked, or cut from knitted fabric and sewn. The button band is a separately knitted rib strip with buttonholes, attached to the front edges.

Choosing board and material

Cotton, acrylic, wool or blends, about 250–400 gsm finished; acrylic is inexpensive, colourfast and stable, good for school uniforms; wool blends are warmer but need gentle care. Fineness is measured in gauge (needles per inch): 12–14G is fine for office wear, 5–7G chunky for cold weather. Wool shrinks and pills if washed hot, so care labels matter.

Finishing

The best logos are knitted in as jacquard or embroidered on the left chest; direct printing barely holds on uneven yarn. Embroidered patches, woven labels and badges work for school uniforms. Embroidery on chunky knit needs tear-away backing so stitches don't sink.

Preparing the print file

A jacquard logo is converted to a stitch grid at the machine's gauge, one cell per stitch, so type under about 10–15 mm tall gets lost. A left-chest embroidered logo is about 60–80 mm wide, 50–70 mm from the button band. Send yarn colour codes from the knitter's shade card rather than CMYK.

Common mistakes

  • Fine-line jacquard logos with small type: the stitch grid breaks the shape and edges go jagged.
  • Screen printing a knit cardigan: ink sits on the fibre tips, looks patchy and washes off.
  • No care instructions: the knit shrinks and pills after the first hot machine wash.
  • Embroidery too close to the button band: buttoning up pulls the logo into wrinkles.

Questions and answers

What are the size L knit cardigan's flat measurements?

About 570 mm across × 690 mm long laid flat; knitwear stretches, so the worn fit is roomier than a woven garment with the same numbers.

How should a womenswear label brand a knit cardigan?

A woven brand label at the back neck, a heavy card hang tag at the top button, and a small tone-on-tone embroidered or knitted logo on the chest; avoid big, high-contrast logos.

What yarn is best for school uniform cardigans?

Acrylic or acrylic-cotton: colourfast, low shrink, machine-washable; wool blends are warmer but harder to care for.

How is a logo put on a knit cardigan?

Knit it in as jacquard, embroider the left chest, or sew on a patch or badge; direct printing doesn't suit knitted surfaces.

What does gauge mean in knitwear?

Needles per inch on the knitting machine; high gauge (12–14G) gives fine thin knits, low gauge (5–7G) thick, chunky ones.
