Summary
Technician who manufactures sweaters using knitting machines.

Sweater knitting workers operate industrial knitting machines or hand knitting machines to manufacture sweaters from yarn. Before starting work, they check yarn characteristics and patterns, input programs into the knitting machine, or make manual adjustments. On the production line, they monitor and maintain machines, inspect defects in stitches, check the shape and dimensions of finished products, and perform repairs as necessary. Fine skills such as yarn selection and tension adjustment are required to improve product quality.
