Knitting and playing crossover? A hodgepodge of eco-friendly technology and art, knitting trends for Fall-Winter 2025/26

△ TG Botanical

In times of uncertainty, knitting is reimagined with vibrant, colourful geometric designs, multi-sensory tactile stitches and surface elements, and light, ethereal visuals of delicate lace and tulle. The following is a small series to introduce you to three different directions of knitting trends~

1

Three-dimensional effect

01 Fabric sample

There are many ways to make a three-dimensional effect in knitted fabrics, such as ribs and folds folded in a 3D textured Japanese origami style, ripples, transfer knitting, resting needle knitting, partial knitting, and hot pressing to shape the fabric.

02 Apparel Applications

The three-dimensional knit structure is inspired by 3D and 4D printing techniques to create an adjustable, zero-waste knit design with a 3D effect and an angular look.

Geometries can be created by combining coarse stripes and checks to create cotton stripes, intarsia and jacquard, or to develop chevron patterns, multi-coloured diamond checks, and color-block designs.

02 Apparel Applications

Reinventing geometric shapes into minimalist art designs that liven up super-preppy looks creates a host of creative and joyful pieces, while incorporating bold artisan-inspired minimalist shapes into designs that make knitwear shine.

Light and ethereal

△ Halo Labels

01 Fabric sample

Warp and weft knits and single-sided knits with mesh needles create delicate lace, needle holes, and cutouts. Add a plain texture to your garment with 3D ripples and ribs, ruffles, ruffles. Jacquard, intarsia, and striped fabrics that combine shrinkage and bubble effects give the fabric a light and ethereal feel.

02 Apparel Applications

Giving the tulle knit an ethereal and alternative style, through yarn and stitching, the contrast between transparent and opaque is presented, presenting a dreamy and delicate atmosphere.
