German term or phrase: Strickschnitt
Liebe Kolleg/Innen,
der Begriff stammt aus dem Zeugnis einer Modedesignerin, unter der Überschrift: Bekleidungskonstruktion.

Steek


Explanation:
I believe you might be referring to the steek, whereby a finished knitted piece is cut in some parts to make openings. Very common for Fair Isle knitted pieces
