Listen I am not going to name anyone specifically, but pattern makers need to talk to one (1) fat person before they can post their patterns online.
I am so sick of finding a cute pattern, getting all the supplies, checking my gage, and starting to knit, only to find that my sleeves are a foot longer than a normal human because the pattern maker just multiplied all their numbers by 10 when they sized it up. I can't believe I have to say this but, just because my ass is fat does not mean my arms go down to my knees???

I've never been terribly active here but I've returned to share my favourite patterns that make me slightly uncomfy and/or ready to star in an absolutely CRACKING sci-fi miniseries, please enjoy.
DEGEN ADULT EYES SWEATER by Lindsay Degen
Who WOULDN'T want this Biblically accurate sweater? The perfect attire for every horrifying occasion.
#22 Raglan Sleeve Pullover by Laura Zukaite
The rather staid naming of this sweater belies its Mad Max energy. After the apocalypse comes for us I hope we can at least dress like this.
Open Waters Shawl by Melanie Berg
A good shawl to wear to a duel to the death with your mortal enemy, if your mortal enemy has trypophobia.
Romanesco Jumper by Ranti Ehinmola
Honestly, the number of variations shown in the project photos for this pattern is amazing. Not only can you fulfill your dreams of looking like a 5th Element villain, you can do it your way.
DEGEN HOLE SWEATER by Lindsay Degen
This is a practical pattern for people like me who are in denial about living in a desert and stubbornly insist on wearing knitwear despite ample evidence this is a bad idea.
Wilderness by Martin Storey
I absolutely adore the 1950s farmhouse vibe of this photo and the beauty and poise of the model juxtaposed with the fact that she looks like a human bittermelon and she is fucking KILLING it
# 17 Patterned Sweater with V-Yoke by Sabrina/Sandra team designers
An unassuming mass-produced pattern from the 90s that, just coincidentally, looks like something you'd wear to head an intergalactic delegation.
Blume by Norah Gaughan
Speaking of space sweaters, here's another that wouldn't look out of place on the bridge of a starship.
Mullion by Martin Storey
This one, on the other hand, looks more like attire for a... space council?
Space Odyssey by Anna Strandberg
This pattern is literally called "Space Odyssey". The author definitely knows.
Dark Moss Pullover by Teti Lutsak
Bringing things back to Earth, the way these broad cables fade into the fabric reminds me of my desire to be buried in one of those mushroom suits after I die. Your interpretation may vary.
Waterbender by Yiğitcan / Pufido
The ultimate in dramatic sleeves.
Day Dreams by Stacy Collingham
Finally... I think the Power Rangers fought this sweater.

so Pacific Knit Company sells what they call 'doodle' deck, which are full or half decks of cards with knitting patterns on them. Every motif is 24 stitches wide, and a variable amount of stitches tall. The cardstock is comparable to playing cards.
You can shuffle the cards to get a randomized pattern, you can pick out the patterns you think would make a neat hat or scarf (or socks or sweaters, if you're willing to do a bit more work), you can mix-and-match the decks.
And each deck comes with three cards of instructions, including how to make a single-sided cowl and an infinity cowl using the cards.

May I have the confidence and audacity of this knitting pattern that suggests I buy 11 different hanks of yarn at $28 each in order to knit ONE PAIR of socks
#knitting#knitting pattern#it’s color work so ten of those hanks would only use a few yards#but can you imagine the investment? no way#knitting patterns#sock knitting#even with a yarn sub I’m kinda exhausted#it’s cute but not that cute

Huge free pattern archive from a Japanese yarn company (charts)
This archive disappeared at one point, then came back. They haven't updated since 2020, but there's literally hundreds of knitting and crochet patterns to sort through. It's all PDFs with charts and English translation on the minimal text.
In case anyone's looking for some stuff to make.

Ok, so my last post about the issues of plus sized patterns popped off in a way I did not expect??
I just want to come back and say: making patterns is hard work and especially those who make their patterns free online, it is a LOT of hard work that the designer gets nothing back for. I didn't mean for it to sound like I thought that was an easy thing to do.
But, like a lot of people pointed out in the tags and comments, fashion world has already done the leg work for us. There are size charts and mathematical equations you can do to scale your pieces in such a way that at least matches what you would see in stores. I think, honestly, that this is where the break down is. I think pattern makers take bust/chest measurements, and scale all of their numbers from there, without thinking about their piece as clothing (instead of just a knitting project, if that makes sense).
And I think that's where fat people get left behind. Because our bodies don't scale the way you would scale up a hat or mittens or something. It takes added work and added care to think about fat people and how our bodies look and work (hence why my previous post said "please talk to a fat person"--it's not that we know how to make patterns, but that we can advise what works for our bodies!)
I want to end on a helpful note, if I can:
My favorite pattern maker for plus sized projects is Jacqueline Cieslak!
I have bought a couple of patterns from them, and I have never had the not-for-fat-bodies problems I have had before. They have a handful of different styles, many of which are very customizable. Not to mention that the patterns themselves are VERY thorough. They link to tutorial videos they have made for anything more complicated than a stockinette stitch, and have lots of detailed diagrams showing different measurements for different parts of the project.
Anytime I am making a piece for myself or my other plus sized love ones, I go to Jacqueline first! Hopefully their patterns will help anyone who identified with my previous post find some patterns that work for them!

ANTIQUE LACE KERCHIEF
I knit and designed this kerchief based two historic lace patterns, it is fully knit (no crochet— every cute kerchief pattern i found was crocheted), featuring a kerchief base in stockinette with lace insert and lace edging in garter stitch. It is finished with braids and blanket stitched yarns across the front.
Pattern available here for free

This is for all you crochet and knitting designers out there selling patterns on Etsy:
Copyright applies only to your pattern. While a person cannot legally sell your pattern, you can not stop them or threaten them with "you do not have my permission to sell a finished item made with this pattern". And why would you even expect that? So you can make money, but the person who bought the pattern and supported you can't? Did you think you were going to make more sales of your pattern that way?
You better research copyright laws more thoroughly before you get your heart broke... like intellectual property, and the fact that you can't copyright a garment. I assure you that the garment you designed has most likely in very close similarity been designed before by someone else. Anyone who makes an item from your pattern can sell the item as long as they disclose that they didn't personally design the item, and they may not even have to do that much, especially if variations were made. You're welcome... and go fix your self-entitled Etsy listings that have that wack "warning" in them. You yourself may in fact be infringing on someone else's design with your own.
UPDATE 2023-05-19-FRI - 3:46 AM CST:
Since writing this post, I have as of the timestamp above purchased a crochet pattern on Etsy at ShopTigerCrochet. The seller states in his or her listing, the following:
Permissions:
You have my permission to use this pattern to create physical pieces for yourself and your loved ones for free. - - - Well I would hope and expect that after I paid money for this pattern that I can surely make the item or some variation of it from the pattern... you know since I paid for it, otherwise what was the point of the transaction when I bought the pattern?
You do not have my permission to share the pattern with others. - - - I can agree to that, since it's not my pattern to share.
You do not have my permission to sell the pattern or physical creations of the ctrl top using my pattern. - - - I don't plan on selling anyone's pattern, however there is no law in the United States that says I cannot sell a garment I create using the pattern. Also if I create variations of the pattern, that becomes a new design, and there is no law stopping me from then selling MY pattern, and I can, but don't have to, credit you for being "based off of".
Please credit me each time you post a photo of the ctrl top on social media. - - - That also is not a legal requirement, but we'll see.... and I understand why they ask this one. It's so they can drive more traffic to their stores and websites.
After my purchase of the pattern I left this review: "The pdf is beautifully put together, and the instructions seem to be explained well. I couldn't give less than a 5 star review since this is a pattern, and as of this comment haven't actually used it. So the 5 stars is based off of ease of purchasing. I do however want to point out one thing in the seller's "Permissions" section of the listing. While a seller has the right to copyright his or her pattern, and to forbid sharing or selling of the pattern, can not forbid a buyer of the pattern from selling finished items made using the pattern, as garments can not be copyrighted, and due to intellectual property. I recommend all sellers do more research on final usage of patterns that buyers have rights to."
The only way these sellers are going to learn is if buyers start telling them.
I get it. People put a lot of work in to writing crochet and knit patterns, however your work, and your pride in it, has no authority over what someone does with a finished item he or she creates with the pattern after buying it.

We're having a real cold snap! I wanted to show you these sweet yellow gloves I made for myself. I've been using this free pattern from DROPS studio which I love, I've made four pairs. I like that you make increases for the thumb and don't just tack it on, it makes them fit better. Happy new year!!

i’ve decided i love 9” circular needles!
this is however the first method i’ve tried that effects my gauge so i’m trying a smaller needle to see if that helps 🤷🏼♀️
