Archive of Thread: Having Trouble Creating a Pattern Back

2 years ago
I am very confused. Things have changed so much since I joined the site. I haven't used a pattern in years because I could never figure out how to use my machines. I wanted to create a pattern and just knit the top half of the front and back for the neckline/collar practice. 

I went to my patterns and noticed that I could not add another size, even though there are only 2. I also could not adjust either of the two. The Perfect Fit your Garment only goes up to a size 8 or something like that. I haven't seen that size for many decades, LOL.

I was hoping to find that chart that shows what to measure, and how. I thought there were sheets you could print before, too. You know, the way it was when you built a pattern years ago.

I don't want to use a current one, because I know those measurements are not going to be accurate. I can't add a third, or edit either of the two. I am logged in. 

 
There are only two, and no option to do a third so that I can start from scratch. I think I am having a brain drain moment?

 

If I choose the Select size, they are not large enough. 

Thanks for any assistance that can be offered. It is probably a simple thing, but I am not finding it.

Size 8 measures  46 1/2, inches. If you choose a size you can see what measurements it is going to be.

Click on 'Perfect fit your garment', and it starts a new one, I've just tested it

Thank you Joy. I have my pattern completed. I have to wait a few days before I begin. Then I will read it through first, before starting the section I am going to practice with.

I am not doing the sweater I wanted to do. I have found a simpler one. I have liked that Seraina for a long time, but I have switched to a simpler design.

Hi Cynthia!


I went to my patterns and noticed that I could not add another size, even though there are only 2.

Because you are a subscriber you can always delete any patterns you've built use the black X to make room for a new pattern

The sizing names are just that ... names ... they could be called yellow, green and blue.  It's the dimensions that are important

How to measure?  DON'T MEASURE YOUR BODY.  Measure something you wear.  Measure make your pattern measurements match your garment measurements

Lay your sample sweater flat and measure A-B-C-E-F and make your pattern match your garment

Thanks. I have my pattern built. I was going to start, but, I won't get far before the Live event today, that I hope to attend. I will wait so I don't have to stop if I am on a roll. 

Thanks, Everyone. I hope my question helped, or will help others.
