Knot's yoga pants start with your body, not a size chart. A guided phone scan captures the landmarks that determine whether leggings gap at the waist, pull at the rise, or bunch at the ankle. This guide explains what the scan measures, how it becomes a pattern, and how privacy is handled.
What the scan captures
3D body landmarks from video — waist circumference, hip width, torso length, leg length.
More data than a 3-measurement size chart — see 3D Scans vs Size Charts.
Technology overview: How Phone AI Body Scanning Works.
From scan to pattern
Software maps landmarks to legging block — adjusts waist curve, front/back rise, inseam.
You choose waistband height (high/low) and colorway at preorder.
Production is made-to-order — no warehouse of guessed sizes.
Privacy
Scan used to produce your garment — Knot policy: not sold to third parties.
Compare to retail brands with no body data — only return history.
Questions: Knot Pre-Order FAQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need special equipment?
Just a smartphone and 6–8 feet of space in good lighting.
How accurate vs manual measure?
Scan reduces human error on hard-to-reach landmarks — consistency improves fit.
Can I rescan if body changes?
Yes — remeasure before reorder; free refit on first order if something's off.
