Pattern Grading: Your Precision Partner

Crafting patterns is an art, and not everyone has the time or expertise to grade them effectively. Fear not! We’re your dependable partner, poised to transform your one-size pattern into a versatile, size-inclusive masterpiece. Our commitment to enhancing accessibility for all knitters drives us to offer comprehensive grading services for a diverse range of designs, from garments to accessories.

 

Pattern Grading: Investment and Timeline

Basic Grading Service:

    • You provide the pattern in a Word or Google Doc draft.
    • We conduct the grading and provide PDFs containing finished measurements, yarn requirements, and all necessary directions and numbers associated with the pattern.
    • You handle data entry for the pattern, chart development, schematic creation, and formatting to match your brand’s style sheet. You also hire a tech editor for the pattern.
    • This option offers cost savings but requires more time investment on your part.
    • Turnaround time for these projects is typically quicker, spanning 1 to 2 weeks.
    • Pricing ranges between $200-300CAD, depending on the complexity of the design and size range.

Comprehensive Grading Service:

    • Includes all services mentioned in the basic grading option.
    • Additionally, we handle data entry, chart and schematic creation, and ensure that the pattern aligns with your brand’s style sheet.
    • The pattern is tech edited by our third party tech editor.
    • If you don’t have a style sheet, we can work together to develop one that reflects your writing style and voice.
    • This option saves you time but comes at a higher cost.
    • Turnaround time for these projects may be slightly longer, spanning 3 to 4 weeks.
    • Pricing ranges between $400-800CAD, depending on the complexity of the design and size range.
