Knitwear Technical Editing
What is Technical Editing?
The pattern is checked row by row for spelling, grammar, and mathematical accuracy, ensuring that final measurements are correct and that pattern text cross-references any charts, schematics, or style guides provided.

A document to maintain uniformity across all patterns, with standardised terms, abbreviations and formatting guidelines, making them easier to follow and professionally polished.
Coordinate / Co-Host Test Knits
Test knitting is when knitters work on a new pattern before it is officially published to help the designer clarify instructions and ensure the pattern works as intended for all sizes. Some or all of the process will be arranged for you.
