What is Knitting Pattern Tech Editing?
Tech Editing is a process where a qualified Knitting Pattern Tech Editor will look through your knitting pattern to check that the maths is correct, without knitting the pattern. Things a Tech Editor checks for are:
- The finished sizes are correct based on gauge, for all sizes
- All equipment and materials that are listed are used in the pattern
- Finished measurements align with the sizing measurements used by the designer (eg, Ysolda’s sizing chart, CYC)
- Stitch patterns used match the photo or drawing provided
- Charts and written instructions match
- All abbreviations are used in the pattern
- Spelling, punctuation and grammar
- Your brand and identity is aligned with your stylesheet (if you have one)
How will we work together?
I am a very relaxed and collaborative Tech Editor, I find out the way you like to work to make the process as smooth as possible.
When you get in touch you’re not obligated to commit to anything, I want you to be sure you want to work with me as much as I would like to work with you.
We can chat over email, by text or over a video call – whichever works best for you. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want!

I offer a final check post test knitting to ensure you are 100% comfortable with the pattern you are releasing.
If you would like to find out more, or if you have any questions, please do get in touch with me via the contact form or send me an email at hello@aimeelee.co.uk, I would love to hear what your design plans are!
