Airflow Knit Series
The Loose Knit Hoodie is developed using an airy, open-knit structure that prioritizes breathability and lightweight performance. This construction leverages intentional spacing between yarn loops, forming a ventilated mesh surface ideal for warm-weather layering or resort-inspired knitwear lines. With precise cast-on control and open-mesh stabilization, the hoodie maintains visual softness while still offering dimensional stability.
To support diverse brand requirements, the yarn platform can be configured with combed cotton, viscose blends, or low-twist summer yarns. Each option influences airflow, drape behavior, and tactile coolness, enabling brands to create lightweight sweaters tailored for beachwear, travel apparel, or transitional-season assortments. Openness ratios can be fine-tuned by adjusting needle selection, tuck patterns, or splicing techniques for targeted transparency levels.
As a specialized ODM/OEM knitwear manufacturer, we engineer open-knit products with strict quality tolerance. Edge reinforcement prevents stretching at high-stress points, while pre-setting treatments ensure the hoodie maintains structure after washing. This loose knit hoodie is particularly valuable for designers seeking modern, breezy silhouettes with technical consistency across multiple production runs.
