Knitted Cardigans Manufacturing
Knitted cardigans are open-front knit garments, closed with buttons, a zip or worn open. Because they are knitted from yarn, the look and feel depend heavily on yarn choice, stitch structure and finishing.
Yuehua Garment, Foshan works with overseas brands and buyers on knitted cardigans, including zip-up styles such as FM-LK-031 shown here. Share your design or reference sample, and we will discuss specifications, materials and production requirements with you.

What Shapes a Knitted Cardigan
Yarn, stitch structure and finishing give a cardigan its character. A reference sample, a close-up photo of the knit or a yarn reference helps us discuss what is practical for your target. For knitted pieces cut from fabric rather than knitted to shape, see our Cut & Sew Knitwear page.
