It's Summertime! So, that means it's time for another report. Our winner this month is Interweave Knits, who has provided a lovely vest pattern, with a 59 inch bust.
And here's that design - The Planche Vest
They had some other great patterns, as well, so I'm gonna list them all here:
Dawn Dress - up to 57 inch measurement under bust
(I think that some of us might need to add a bit to the top edge of that bra section, so we don't spill out for the whole world to see.)
Bethany Wrap - up to 56" chest
Flynn Cardigan - up to 54" chest
Seaglass Shell - up to 53" chest
Coquette Vest - up to 53" chest
Men's Herringbone Vest - up to 54" chest
Knitscene - (Summer 2012) has some nice plus-size designs this season as well.
Merida Pullover - up to 57" chest
Quinn Sweater - up to 56" chest
Kenzie Tee - up to 53" chest
(This one is assymetrical)
Knit 'n Style (August 2012) has gained some of our favor this time, because they have a design with sizing up to 4X! That's a real accomplishment, because usually they only go up to 2X. Thanks, Knit 'n Style! :)
Knit Silk Vest - up to size 4X
(They also have a crochet version that goes up to the same size)
End of Summer Capelet - up to size 3X
Cropped Jacket - up to size 3X
Love of Knitting (Summer 2012) lost our love this time, because they only have ONE design that goes up to size 3X. :( Did you forget about us? Boo Hoo........
Lacy Cable Vest - up to size 3X
Creative Knitting (July 2012)
Pender Vest - up to size 3X
Knitting Magazine (UK) - Issue 103 - June 2012
That pretty design on the cover is called "Shale Lace Top", and goes up to a 52" chest.
YARN (Australian) Vol 12, Issue 25
Garden Party Cardi - up to size 3X
Man's Jumper with Cabled Yoke & Sleeves - up to 142 cm chest (55.9")
That's all of it! There were some size 2X designs, but I decided to stick with 3X and over again this time.
See you all next time. :)

I love the Dawn Dress and like you I would need to add a little more height in the bust area. Guess now will have to get the magazine. Thanks.
I love that dress too! I'm thinking that it would make a fun tunic over leggings or slinky pants.
I have a new plus sized book out. Top Down cardigans in sizes 44" to 61". This is a multi-gauge book so the 3 styles of Top Down cardigans can be knit in any weight from sports to chunky. http://www.cabinfever.ca/knittersbook8.html
We're running a KAL for the book at Deb's Plus Cardigan on ravelry.
Thanks Deb! So wonderful to know that you are making new designs for us. :)
What are the differences between pullover, sweater, jacket, hoodie,sweatshirt,coat,jumper,... and cardigan ?
cardigan sweater
Pullover is a garment that is put on over the head, and covers arms to the wrists. In England, they call it a jumper.
A sweater is the same as a pullover.
A jacket is open at the front, and usually has long sleeves to the wrist.
A hoodie is a jacket with a hood attached.
A sweatshirt is a casual pullover, with long sleeves.
A coat is the same as a jacket, but usually warmer.
A jumper is the British term for pullover.
A cardigan is open at the front, usually with long sleeves.
