Editorial Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Crochet with Raw-Edge Detailing

Editorial Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Crochet with Raw-Edge Detailing

A Maternity Wear Brand approached us to develop a editorial crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: raw-edge detailing, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Finland and needed editorial finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.

The challenge

• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point
• Fabric hand feel changed between production runs

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The crochet cardigan sweater for women was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Raw-Edge Detailing was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 240 pieces delivered inside the 6-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Maternity Wear Brand launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Lock the colour standard before grading; every downstream approval depends on it.
