Knitting Patterns in very large sizes

May 29, 2007 4 Replies

Hello Everyone,



I am very new to your group, I haven't read newsgroups in years but I know when you need info they are the best place to go to.



I'm looking for knitting patterns in very large sizes. Most I've seen go to x-large or xx-large which doesn't work for me or my husband. Does anyone know of a source for larger sizes? Or, failing that, an easy way to enlarge a pattern, that's something I've never done before. I've been knitting for almost 40 years, but I've never gone past the intermediate stage.



I love my shop owner and we have knitting sessions there several times a week, but I'd rather not have to share my measurements with everyone there.



Please email me at snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com with any info you have, because I may forget to check the group. Thanks for anyone and everyone's help in advance.

This site -

has links to larger size patterns, and a mailing list. There's also the book Big Girl Knits.sue

Sue,

Thank you so much, that site had some great links for patterns and info on enlarging patterns.

Vermont Fiber Designs - most of their patterns go up to 6X and they have some lovely women's patterns.
