1
Choose a Silhouette
The foundation of your knitwear design starts with selecting the right silhouette. Knitup offers a range of market-tested styles, from classic to contemporary, that serve as the starting point for customization.

Design the Details:

Stitch, Texture, Pattern & Gauge

Next, select a stitch —this determines the thickness and structure of your garment. The foundation of your knitwear’s texture starts with textures, stitch types & gauge.

Essentials
Essentials provides jersey, cable, half cardigan, tuck, needle transfer, pointelle, and jacquard to define the look and feel of your piece.
Atelier
Our Atelier Service will work with you for custom stitch requirements that meet your designs, as well as other customization including labels, embroidery and printing.

Patterns & Custom Artwork

Take knitwear beyond basics by incorporating built-in patterns. Whether it’s a leopard print, geometric design, or original artwork, our Jaquard construction can bring it to life.

 

Upload your own images or graphics, adjust placement across garment panels, and we'll transform your design into a 12-gauge jacquard - knitted directly into the garment itself.

Flexible Grading for a Precise Fit.

Delivered in Just Three Weeks.

Forget “standard sizing”—it doesn’t really exist. Every brand defines sizes differently, and what matters most isn’t a label—it’s the right fit for you.

 

That’s why Knitup offers eight grading options designed to accommodate a wide range of fits. Simply select your preferred size, and our smart grading system takes care of the rest.

 

Not sure which size works best? Check out our measurement charts for precise guidance.

Essentials
Once you place your order you’re about three weeks away from receiving your knitwear—ready to wear, gift, or sell.
Atelier
Working directly with your Knitup specialist, finishing details like trim, labels, buttons and embroidery will all be decided before the manufacturing begins.
Some Designs Require More.

Our Atelier Service is our custom consulting offering, designed for designers and brands who need more. From bespoke silhouettes and specialty yarns to unique stitches and finishing details, Atelier unlocks creative possibilities that go far beyond the Essentials workflow.

From bold jacquards to minimalist textures, our community of designers is pushing the boundaries of knitwear. Whether you’re crafting a signature piece, launching a new collection, or experimenting with stitches and patterns, Knitup gives you the tools to bring your ideas to life—fast.
