Use the stage map to locate the next unresolved decision
A knitwear project moves forward when each stage leaves explicit information for the next one. The sequence is not a fixed number of samples; it is a chain of decisions from the initial brief to a repeatable approved result.
Project planning
Define product objective, quantity, colors, target season, budget direction and current reference quality.
Understand the quantity constraintsMaterials
Confirm composition evidence, yarn route, color, structure, weight, feel and relevant tests.
Prepare the material and quote inputsSampling
Assign swatches, trials and garments one defined job.
Map the sample stagesApproval
Record what is accepted and what remains provisional, including substitute-yarn and size-range boundaries.
