Can AI show my cardigans in another color for free?
Yes. Drop one photo of your cardigan, pick a color and see it recolored with its fabric and shape kept, free with no account, as an approximation of the color.

JPEG, PNG or WebP. Any phone photo works.
2 of 2 free renders left across all tools, one color each.
Your photo is stored for 30 days, then deleted. It is used to make your image, and by the studio if you continue there. If you order a pattern from it, a copy is kept with your order.
On this platform the AI does the design and visualisation work and a human pattern maker cuts the pattern. That split is deliberate. How the pattern is made.
Colorway for a cardigan
A colorway set shows the same cardigan in several colors, cut and fabric unchanged, so a range can be chosen before anything is dyed.
Choose the colorways of a cardigan by its largest panel: the body color carries the range, and the trims follow.
Wool knit and linen knit take color differently, so one shade will not match exactly across both.
What you get
The same cardigan in several colors side by side, cut and fabric kept, so a range can be judged at a glance.
Step by step
- Start from one settled image of the cardigan.
- Choose a small range first, three to five colors.
- Keep one neutral in the range as an anchor.
- Ask the mill for lab dips of the colors you keep, since a screen is never a dye spec.
A common mistake
Taking a screen color to production: color on a screen is an approximation, and every cloth takes dye differently.
How the usual cloths for cardigans take color
- Wool knit
- Even color, heathers from blended fibres
- Cashmere knit
- Soft, natural shades
- Cotton knit
- Takes reactive dye; colors stay true
- Linen knit
- Soft, slightly washed color
Typical trade ranges, not one mill's figures: confirm them with your mill.
The cardigan, in numbers
- Defining details
- Button band, V or crew neck, patch pockets, rib trims
- Cloth needed
- about 1.4 to 1.9 m of 150 cm cloth
Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.
