Private Label 7-Gauge Cotton Cable-Knit Tunic Sweater

This 7-gauge cotton cable-knit tunic sweater combines multiple vertical Aran-inspired stitches with a rounded neckline, raglan shoulders and an extended curved hem. Cable, diamond and textured knit panels create depth across the front and sleeves, while the longer body gives the style more coverage than a standard pullover. It is suited to casualwear, denim-led and transitional knitwear collections that need a substantial cotton sweater with visible craftsmanship.

Mixed Cable Structures in a Substantial Cotton Knit

2/21s Yarn with 7-Gauge Definition

The 2/21s cotton yarn gives the sweater enough fullness to define cables and diamond motifs clearly. Knitting on a 7-gauge machine creates a medium-coarse surface that feels more substantial than fine-gauge cotton knitwear. At approximately 480 g per garment, the finished piece has visible body without relying on wool or synthetic bulk.

Panel Planning Across the Front and Sleeves

The garment uses several stitch groups rather than one repeated cable. Their widths and spacing must be planned together so the center panel remains aligned and both sides mirror each other. Changes in stitch structure can also affect panel length, making relaxation and finishing measurements important before size grading.

Maintaining Symmetry Through Raglan and Curved Hem Lines

Raglan shaping needs clean transitions between the neckline, shoulder panels and sleeve cables. Uneven decreases can shift the motifs or create different shoulder angles on each side. The neck rib should sit flat and recover after wear without stretching away from the body.

The extended body finishes with a curved rib hem, so front length, side rise and back balance must be checked together. Excessive rib tension may pull the lower edge inward or distort the cable panels. Final inspection should cover motif alignment, sleeve length, garment weight and finished measurements before bulk knitting.

Longline Cotton Knitwear for Transitional Styling

The tunic length works with slim trousers, denim and leggings, while the pure cotton composition makes it suitable for customers who prefer non-wool knitwear. The blue-and-light contrast highlights the stitch patterns and gives the sweater a heritage-inspired appearance. It can support autumn, early winter and transitional casualwear assortments.

Buyer FAQs for 7-Gauge Cable Sweaters

Does 480 g mean 480 GSM?

No. It is the approximate finished garment weight. It should not be presented as fabric weight per square meter.

Can the cable layout be simplified?

Yes. The number, width and position of stitch panels can be revised during sampling to control appearance, knitting time and cost.

What should be approved before yarn is booked?

Key approvals include yarn color, stitch map, gauge, garment weight, neckline recovery, hem shape and finished measurements.
