Argyle is the golf sweater: solid diamonds in staggered rows with a fine diagonal overcheck crossing over them, two layers built from one lattice. These nine render fine, classic and bold overcheck argyle across three colourways. Ask for a different overcheck spacing, and the same three colourways carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size and format do these print at?
Each pattern is a seamless square tile at even resolution, so it repeats cleanly on knitwear reference art or a wallpaper roll.
Can I get a wider or narrower overcheck?
Yes — the direction field takes any overcheck spacing, and the same three colourways render it.
What's the difference between the three overchecks?
Fine keeps the diagonal lines thin and close together, classic sits at the traditional golf-sweater proportion, and bold thickens and spaces the lines for a more graphic read.
Is this based on a real clan tartan or brand?
No — argyle's diamond-and-overcheck structure is a generic textile grammar, not tied to any specific clan sett or named brand's design.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
