Wow! Now I can stare at this beautiful sweater all I want to, without that uncomfortable "she's looking at my boobs" thing that I tried to avoid when you were wearing it the other day. It really is a fabulous top, and you are quite the designer! I am so proud of you, Illanna, and thanks for sharing your knitting with us all.

It looks wonderful! Great minds must truly think alike, because I have a tank pattern that I just wrote down tonight and plan to start tomorrow! Tis different, but I'll post the pattern when I'm done. Like you, I have no idea how to change patterns so that they fit other sizes, and I'm listed as the "size small". Only once have I ever made a pattern where I'm not the smallest size!

Very cute!

The Craft Yarn Council of America has a site that promotes standards in pattern writing. Their sizing chart is here: http://www.yarnstandards.com/wom.../ womansize.html

You can sometimes resize fairly simply patterns as easily as just doing the math for each size - ie, multiplying your stitches per inch by the hip measurement (plus ease) for each size.
