Square Circle Forum

I continue to be inundated with the little square jumpers - 44 arrived today!  Most of this lot would fit a toddler but I also have loads that only fit a small doll!!  It is a pattern that really  appeals to people but I know it is not knitting up big enough - I get so many with ridiculously small neck holes - I don't know who they think they will fit.  The smallest ones I am unpicking and knitting up again as squares but could the pattern please come off the website to stop us getting any more - and should I post the larger ones yet?

I was thinking just the same -- it's such a shame to pull apart someone's work on a vest to make squares.

If the neck opening is the problem, can just the neck be opened a bit? Maybe a small V shape, with the loose ends woven in would open the neck hole up just enough to pull over a child's head?

It's not just the neck Michelle - a lot of these are really tiny - I will try to put up a pic or some measurements to give you some idea.
Pam, I would be willing to have a go at recycling them. Let me know what you think.
Many thanks Enid - when I am off for Easter holidays I will sort them out and send some on for recycling - I would be so pleased if they weren't wasted.

Many thanks Mary

 

I regret to say I've found a front page listing for this small pattern on the Knit-A-Square main page.  I can only ask your patience while we see to either up-sizing it or removing it, as it is too small.  It's on our "to do" list.

Have sent a pattern that i have for a bigger tee jumper, if you look at my photos you can see the difference in size.

I also came across the pattern for the smaller ones (must have had it for years and forgotten), it is the exact same pattern but is titled ' New born baby wrap singlet' - could be why they are coming in too small

Hi Pam

I would be happy to have go at altering/remaking some tops  if you wish - I'm not very near to you but it shouldn't cost too much inland and as you say it does seem a shame to waste the work that has already gone into them.

Hi Pam and all

 

I have put up a challnege for a new square vest pattern: http://square-circle-forum.ning.com/forum/topics/square-vest-pattern-challenge

 

We cannot afford to take this page on the website down as explained in the challenge but hopefully we will be able to replace it ASAP.

Thanks a lot Kalai
We understand Kalai and it is a cute pattern if we can just upsize it. You've got a lot of brains "knit wits" working on it now so I have high hopes for a nice fix to all this! :)
