Working in Knitwear
Knitwear is a discipline in its own right, where the fabric is created at the same time as the garment. Knitwear jobs across Europe cover design, development, and technical roles for a category that ranges from luxury cashmere to technical and seamless product. It rewards people who think in stitch, gauge, and yarn as fluently as in silhouette.
Roles on this page include knitwear designers, developers, and technicians, plus product and category roles. Experience with knitting machines, yarns, and knit programming software is highly valued. Every listing is at a vetted European brand and refreshed regularly, so you can apply direct.
Common questions
Building a career in Knitwear
What does a knitwear designer do?
A knitwear designer develops stitches, gauges, and yarns alongside silhouette, then works with developers and factories to turn concepts into production-ready knit garments.
What skills do knitwear jobs require?
Employers look for knowledge of knit construction, yarns, and machine gauges, plus experience with knit programming or CAD software and clear technical communication with mills.
Is knitwear a good specialism to pursue?
Yes. Skilled knitwear designers and technicians are in steady demand because the discipline is specialised and cannot be picked up quickly, which supports strong career progression.
