Not everyone has to be a knitwear designer!!! This is so true. If you (general you) want to be a designer, you need to be willing to put in the work not only to create inclusive patterns but also to understand fundamental construction techniques and why they’re important.

Do you have any patterns that you have loved if you don’t mind sharing?

it blows my mind how insidious the fatphobia is in knitting. I recently did a ravelry purge of my liked patterns and it was astonishing how many I got rid of that didn't fit the 30-60" chest standard. and it was hugely popular designs. its really not a difficult standard to meet with all the resources available but yet it seems like every pattern that gets popular just doesn't bother.

I have crocheted for the past 30 years. only within the last year have I taken my knitting further by learning how to read and use patterns and Omg the lack of size inclusivity is ridiculous.

I feel it's fine when someone just uploads their schematics with a single size for free but if you ask for payment with multiple sizes then a standard must be upheld ...

respectfully as a fat person who has thought about this a lot. I feel I feel size inclucivity is a lie. People who are smaller straigh sizes and more "standardized" but bodies are still different. for someone to truly be size size inclusive they would need (for example) xs-5x(9 sizes) then again for tall(+9), short(+9), fat(+9), muscular(+9), big boob(+9), small boob(+9). thats a minimum of 63 sizes. that only scratches the surface. what patterns need is design logic with recommended techniques. I buy whatever pattern I want because of the idea, I then map out what I need to make it work.

I agree and like sharing your own self drafted pattern with people who ask is part of the fun of being in the knitting community. But if you are going to sell a pattern it should meet a certain standard

Limiting sizing is SUCH a tell for a bad pattern. Full stop.

I think a lot of designers are scared of the grade rules after XL or XXL. I think there needs to be more accessible information about how to do this well

If they don’t want my money I won’t give it to them nor will I recommend them. . I think it’s their loss but maybe they suck at designing..

THIS!!!!!!!! Pattern writing is a skill and passion on its own apart from knitting. I almost exclusively self draft and I personally do not have it in me to even write it all out!! For ONE size!! So I don’t!

i think it’s important to take into consideration where the pattern designer is from. designers in europe are not going to think a 3xl-6xl is necessary. people are smaller in places like norway and denmark. they’re making sizes to fit the majority of people buying. i think it’s understandable to be upset and upset and to advocate for larger sizes but i don’t think its fair to attack designers for having xxs-xxl (for example) just because some people are larger than that

Calling a plus size person a buIIy for is wild. 😕 I totally agree that if you design garments, you need to include as many sizes as possible.

frankenskein :
this was great to hear, thank you!! i recognise why having such a large test group would be stressful, but having your 5xl tested, as opposed to the size you knit yourself, is surely much more educational! if a designer wants to learn, they simply have to choose the hardest option and embrace the mistakes they may make

It’s always surprising to me because I CONSTANTLY feel like I’m seeing videos on this app discussing size inclusivity in knitting but it feels like this pattern keeps repeating itself. I know everyone’s algorithm is different but you can actually learn a lot if you want!

Theo RS :
It’s no coincidence that patterns with design aspects like bust shaping, masc/femme shape options, and even just well fitted arm openings almost always are size inclusive. If I see a designer isn’t size inclusive it just signals to me that they’re not really interested in creating garments that truly fit people, and are more so just interested in aesthetics.

Creating knitware and creating knitwear patterns are two very different skills.

I’d love to offer a wider range of sizes in all of my designs, but I’ve found it really difficult to find test knitters for the larger sizes. 🥲🥲 When people have messaged me later saying that they’d love to knit a design if it were available in a bigger size, I’ve taken the opportunity to ask if they’d be interested in test knitting it. This has also helped me improve and expand my sizing. 🥹🥹

I’ve been on a roll messaging designers on Instagram asking if they’d consider adding additional sizes to be fully size inclusive. I’m officially the age where I’m not afraid to ask them directly! I do try to come at it with a kind attitude because you catch more flies with honey and there sure are a lot of flies out there

schweedness :
I disagree. I personally think this is an opportunity to agree as a collective that we can bring forth ideas and designs without investing a lot of time and effort. This gives someone else the opportunity to expand on those ideas and designs. That is how humanity has progressed. If you create a pattern, that has a lot of potential, you can sell it to a particular clientele but you can also allow someone to adopt that pattern for a different clientele. So you may sell certain sizes and the other person sells certain sizes. It’s just an idea.

I teach classes about knitting at my LYS and I frequently highlight this to my students. Even if you’re straight-sized, you still benefit from size inclusivity. It’s not a great argument because empathy is very important, but people are selfish and making it personal is a good way to get people to buy from size inclusive designers.

theblueskypurples :
Once you get up to a certain size you have to make a whole new pattern, you can't just keep adding stitches. It's similar to asking someone to include child sizes in an adult pattern. That would be a whole other pattern and is not the responsibility of the designer. They design what they want to, not what people tell them to. It's a great opportunity for someone bigger to learn to self draft. Saying that they shouldn't design at all is very selfish. "If I can't use the pattern then no one should use the pattern"
