I'm gonna start off by showing the largest patterns I found, after my 4 hour magazine perusal.
In my last report, I congratulated Interweave Knits and Knitting Today for their patterns which fit up to a 59 inch chest! You can read about that here: http://knittingplus.blogspot.com/2011/09/fall-2011-knitting-magazines.html
Time to show you the REST of the winners!
Sandra Knit Trends - No. 3
This issue contains a knitting pattern for a Striped Slipstitch Tunic, which goes up to size 26/28. (Keep in mind that this is German sizing)
Isn't it pretty? Now, I'm thinking that the slip stitches might make the fabric draw in a bit, so the project will DEFINITELY require a good sized gauge swatch.
Our next big size winner is
Knitscene (Fall 2011)
In that issue, you'll find the Charlemont Cardigan - fits up to a 57" chest!
Interweave Knits (Fall 2011) wins again with a large sized men's cardigan. Yay!
The Canyon Cardigan fits up to a 56 1/2" chest!
And here are FIVE patterns from Knitscene (Fall 2011), that fit up to a 54" chest. Nice!
The Pinstripe Pullover
Cooke Cardigan
Morrison Cardigan
Cornsilk Pullover
and Lowry Pullover
There! That will give you a few patterns and magazines to drool over for a while. :)
Stay tuned for the next report, which will contain patterns I found that fit up to a 53" chest. There's even a skirt that will fit up to a 53" hip!
Talk soon, my friends.
