Illustrator Sweater Brushes and Swatches

SWEATER BRUSHES & SWATCHES!
Sweater design fashion sketches are some of the hardest to draw because of all the details in sweater designs. Usually fashion knits silhouettes are simple, but sketching stitch details and textures can be really time consuming, especially when you need to make fashion CAD drawings that are close to the actual design. To save time, many fashion sweater designers create Adobe Illustrator brushes and swatches to show cable stitches, pointelle, lace, crochet, rib etc… But, to make a good vector brush in Adobe Illustrator, you need to think of how to make it and how the brush works, then draw it, test, and adjust. The whole process of creating and drawing a perfect repeat of a sweater stitch can take hours, even if you’re good with Illustrator!

ABOUT
Almost every sweater brush & swatch comes in 2 or more versions, giving you more design freedom to show various colors and textures. All brushes can be re-sized and re-colored by simply choosing the desired stroke weight or color.
All Vector Sweater Brushes are drawn approximately at 1/8th scale (8x’s smaller than actual size), so it’s easy for you to create the correct cable/stitch proportions in your sweater designs. For example, a 1pt stroke weight will show a cable at 1/8th of its actual size. An 8pt stroke will show the same cable at its actual life size. So it’s easy for you draw your sweater sketches proportionately and show enlarged detail sketches as well!
