About Me
As a fat girl who has yoyo`’ed from size 22 - 32 (UK) over the years, with a definite pear-shape figure, I feel somewhat qualified to design patterns that actually fit and flatter. I have been designing patterns since my teens and knitting them for friends and family; then in 2011, finding myself needing a job, I took the plunge and started designing and selling my baby/toddler patterns as a tax registered business. (You can find them at: https://cdukknittingcrochet.com)
Fast forward to me making some pattern purchases for garments to fit me and finding that they didn’t quite fit to my shape, I decided to start designing my own patterns. It’s been a huge learning curve, trying to ensure my patterns can be easily adapted to fit your particular shape; as after all not all girls have large busts, some of us have a real booty shelf going on and some of us have a smaller waist but big hips or want garments that cover our saggy bellies or disguise our muffin tops!
So I am going to do my best to provide knit and crochet garments that fit and flatter the BBW or BHM figure 🥰
