What is waffle knit sweater?

A waffle-knit sweater uses a grid-like, honeycomb structure resembling a breakfast waffle. This texture adds thermal insulation and stretch while remaining breathable. Waffle knits are commonly made from cotton or wool blends, ideal for casual layering. The surface traps air for warmth, making it popular in heritage and workwear-inspired designs as well as modern streetwear knit collections.
