design a knitting pattern

I knit for a size 54” bust and the pattern choice is limited. I’m looking for an easy way to up-size some patterns, and a method of designing my own in yarn from the cobweb weight up to double knitting ( I’m not sure if dk is the equivalent of the USA’s worsted weight). I no longer have the brain to sit with pencil, paper and calculator for several hours. Can anyone help, please?

But a very simple pattern for a headband that I did got mentioned here: http://phatfiber.blogspot.com/2009/02/tracy-rios.html

Hi! I really want to design a sock pattern, but I’m having problems figuring out what my gauge is. Does anyone know of a book(s) that might help with this?

Ok, in all honesty, I’ve started this one….a couple of times. I just keep getting side tracked with other design ideas. So far, I have forced myself to keep on one project and I’ve gotten 14 inches into a sweater for my husband. It’s rather basic with a design on the front. I’m hoping to start the design soon (only 2 more inches to go!).

I did design this hat for my nephew. I wrote it down, but never typed it up for publication. It’s pretty basic, and mainly chartwork. But what I want to do is learn to design all kinds of knitting patterns and submit them for publication. I took up sewing clothing for this purpose, as a way to help me understand garment construction. But I’m still stuck trying to apply this to knitting.

Hi everyone :)

this morning i wake up with a wish. I want to do a blanket for my bf with his mini refrigerating on this blanket. i know may sound crazy but i want to do it. ;p

the only problem is that i dont have an idea wher i can find the pattern of a mini :(
IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN HELPME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE?

i tried to find on the net but nothing ehh.

mission accomplished –
i designed a grey alpaca cardigan using Barbara Walker’s knitting from the top – I put maritime silver buttons on it and it’s super soft. no, it’s definitely not perfect, but i needed a dark cardigan since i left my favorite one on a plane (RIP), and it’s mine and i made it and designed it and everything. consider gauge conquered.

This amy sound crazy, but I am going to attempt to make a gear shift cozy for my fiance’s porche. I have no idea where to begin… So far I figured I would a doorknob cozy or golf club cover pattern and customize one of them to fit. Then I would incorporate the logo…intartia???

I usually make patterns up as I go along. The trickiest thing for me was to actually write up my pattern in a way that someone else could duplicate it.

Now all I need to do is publish one of my knitting patterns.
