What is a shaker knit sweater?
A shaker knit sweater features a distinctive ribbed texture created by alternating knit and purl stitches across a heavy gauge. Originally popularized in American workwear and collegiate fashion, the pattern offers durability, warmth, and stretch. Typically made from cotton or wool yarns, shaker knits have a uniform horizontal ridge that adds volume without bulk. Many OEM factories produce them using 5GG–7GG flat-bed machines for structured, timeless silhouettes.
