Minimalist Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Mohair with Hand-Finished Hem

Minimalist Crochet Cardigan Sweater For Women in Mohair with Hand-Finished Hem

A Brewery and Taproom approached us to develop a minimalist crochet cardigan sweater for women around a single idea: hand-finished hem, executed in mohair. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed minimalist 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

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

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Mohair 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. Hand-Finished Hem 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

• 600 pieces delivered inside the 8-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Brewery and Taproom 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.
