Knitwear is a domain of its own in womenswear garment-making. Each knit fabric will lead to a completely different pattern as the volume created will be in direct correlation with the elasticity of the fabric chosen. We have chosen to develop a knitwear base pattern and also demonstrate the transformation process that might be required, depending on the elasticity of the fabric used. This principle of transformation of the base pattern is given full development in our flat-pattern drafting books where, depending on the fabric used, the modifications to make to your knitwear base are highlighted.
