Every piece in this collection is a knitted crewneck sweater in 100% cotton knit, with a ribbed crew, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem, pre-washed to minimize shrinkage. There are no button-front cardigans in the range at the moment. The knits come in heather gray and black, and the artwork runs across the front, the back or both.

Knitted in or printed

Some of these anime sweaters are jacquard knits: the design is made from colored yarn as the cloth is knitted, so there is no surface layer to crack or peel, and it washes and softens with the sweater. Every stitch is one point of one color, so a knitted character reads like pixel art up close and resolves at arm's length. Other pieces carry a print on the knit, and one BSRK sweater is embroidered. Each product page says which kind you are buying. The guide to knitted anime sweaters explains the difference in detail.

Fit, size and care

The product pages describe a relaxed knit fit, true to size. Size up for a roomier drape or to wear one over a hoodie. The knit chart on the size guide uses full length rather than the high-shoulder length on the tee charts, so measure a sweater you own top to hem. Wash cold on a gentle cycle, press the water out in a towel rather than wringing, and dry it flat.

The deepest knit runs are JJK sweaters, HXH sweaters, OP sweaters and BSRK sweaters.

Questions
Is the design printed or knitted into the sweater?

Both kinds are in the collection. On a jacquard knit the design is made from colored yarn as the fabric is knitted, so there is no surface layer to crack. Other pieces carry a print on the knit. Each product page describes which one you are buying.

Do cotton knit sweaters shrink?

These knits are pre-washed to minimize shrinkage, so most of the movement has already happened. Heat is what shrinks a cotton knit, so wash cold on a gentle cycle, press the water out in a towel rather than wringing, and dry it flat.

How does an anime knit sweater fit?

The product pages describe a relaxed knit fit, true to size. Take your usual size, or size up for a roomier drape or to wear it over a hoodie. The knit chart uses full length, not the high-shoulder length used on the tee charts.

Why does a knitted design look pixelated up close?

Every stitch is one point of one color, so curves and diagonals step at the scale of the stitch and a knitted design reads like pixel art close up. It resolves at arm's length, and fine lettering is reduced to bold shapes on purpose.
