This round-neck pullover sweater for men is based on the classic basic style. It uses a slim fit to outline the shoulders and torso lines, which is suitable for daily commuting or leisure scenes. The main color is dark gray and blue, which is calm and high-end, avoiding the dullness of pure black and more resistant to dirt and easy to match than light colors. The round neck design fits the neck curve, and the edge of the neckline is trimmed with double ribbing, which not only ensures comfort when wearing, but also reduces the probability of deformation after washing.
The main body of the sweater adopts 2X2 pitting technology (i.e. 2 needles up and 2 needles down circular knitting), which is one of the most common ribbed structures. The longitudinal convex and concave patterns are evenly distributed, and the width of each group of pits is about 0.5cm. The double machine plate is spaced to form a highly elastic structure.
The elasticity of the pits allows the sweater to adapt to different body shapes. The direction of the pits at the shoulders and side seams is consistent with the body curve to avoid a loose feeling; unlike plain knitted fabrics, the edges of the pits are naturally vertical, and no additional locking edges are required to keep the hem and cuffs flat.
The yarn is made of combed wool blend (containing about 60% wool, about 30% polyester, and about 10% spandex). Wool gives the fabric a soft touch and warmth, polyester enhances wear resistance, and spandex is combined with the ribbed process to further enhance the overall elasticity. Under the light, the convex surface of the ribbed strips presents a subtle glossy reflection, while the concave surface maintains a matte texture, forming a natural light and shadow layer.
The front, back and sleeves of the sweater all use a uniform 2X2 ribbed strip, but the armpits and side seams are treated with a narrowing process: every 10cm of ribbed strips reduce the number of needles by 1 group, so that the torso part has a slightly waisted effect, avoiding the straight feeling of traditional ribbed sweaters. This kind of detail treatment makes the basic style both design-oriented and suitable for matching with suit jackets or casual jackets.
Neckline and cuffs: The neckline uses 3X1 pit strips (3 needles on top and 1 needle on the bottom), which is tighter than the main pit strips and can better fix the shape of the neckline; the cuffs use 2X2 pit strips, but the needle spacing is increased by 15%, creating a “tightened” visual effect, which is both windproof and convenient for layering shirts.
The pit strips at the hem are consistent with the main body, but a circle of flat stitch lock edge is added at the bottom, with a width of about 0.3cm. The contrast of the process enhances the neatness of the hem and avoids the exposure of the raw edges of the pit strips.
The core competitiveness of this sweater lies in the refined processing of the basic process: the uniformity of the pit strips, the concealment of the needle reduction, and the adaptability of the material and weaving all reflect the standards of mid-range quality men’s clothing. Suitable for use as an inner layer in autumn and winter, the pit strip texture can show a sense of layering through layering, and can also be worn alone to highlight the simple texture. It is recommended to wash by hand in cold water or wash in a gentle machine to avoid deformation of the pit strips due to long-term hanging – this is the characteristic of the pit strip process “high elasticity but maintenance required”.
From the essence of craftsmanship, it uses the most classic corrugated structure as the skeleton, and through material matching and detail finishing, it upgrades a basic sweater into a single product that combines practicality and design sense. It is suitable for men’s wardrobe who pursues “low-key texture”.
