How to use this template

Filling in a beanie tech pack

A beanie is the smallest tech pack you will ever write — and a good test of discipline, because with one size and a handful of measurements, every remaining spec (yarn, gauge, rib structure, crown decrease) carries the entire product. Most beanies are one-size, so the grading table collapses to a single column; the yarn and structure rows do the talking.

The points of measure that matter

  1. Total length (folded and unfolded): cuffed beanies need both states; the fold height is a style decision, not an accident.
  2. Width flat at brim: the stretch opening; measure relaxed and note the target head circumference range.
  3. Cuff (turn-up) height: the proportion signature of a fisherman vs slouch style.
  4. Crown decrease depth: where the wedge decreases start controls the slouch.

Questions the factory will ask

  • Knit structure: 1x1, 2x2, or half-cardigan rib? Each drapes and stretches differently.
  • Gauge and yarn: chunky 3gg wool, mid 5–7gg acrylic blend, or fine cotton? State fiber and count.
  • Crown finish: classic wedge decreases or gathered crown?
  • Label: woven patch sewn on the cuff (position and stitch), or an inside label only?
  • One-size or two sizes? If one-size, state the head circumference range it must fit (e.g. 55–60 cm).

Fabric

Beanies are specced by yarn, not fabric: 100% acrylic for value, wool-acrylic blends for warmth at price, merino or lambswool for premium. A 2x2 rib in a mid-gauge yarn is the standard commercial beanie; chunky 3gg reads artisanal. State whether the beanie is knitted flat and seamed or knitted in the round — the seam is visible.

Beanie tech pack template FAQ

What goes in a beanie tech pack?

Total length folded and unfolded, flat brim width with the target head-circumference range, cuff height, crown construction, the rib structure, and a full yarn spec — fiber, count, gauge, and color with Pantone reference. Usually one size, so no grading table.

How do factories size a one-size beanie?

By the relaxed flat width plus the rib structure's stretch. Spec the flat width and the head range it must fit (for example 55–60 cm) so QC has a testable target at both ends.

Should the patch label be in the tech pack?

Yes — the woven patch is usually the only branding on the product. Spec its dimensions, position on the cuff measured from the fold, and the attachment stitch, or every sample will place it differently.
