Thank you SO much! I am really tired of seeing the same 5 designers. They may be good designers but there are so many others that are good or great that we never hear about. Please do more videos about this each season!
I love that you're highlighting patterns less than 100 projects. I find that I naturally gravitate towards patterns that end up not getting so much love. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to curate this list. I agree, it seems I see the same patterns on rotation. There are so many to discover. Keep up the good work.
You are too sweet to give me a shoutout at the beginning of this video!! Thank you so much and I'm glad we can be out here together trying to bring some more love to awesome underrated patterns and designers ❤ the 8pm tank looks straight out of aritzia, too cute!
Great podcast. Thank you for showcasing these patterns otherwise I would never have found them. I LOVE the Brightest Tee as I have some HHF in the colour Pinky Swear that is a shocking hot pink very much like the yarn used in the sample!💖💖
Thanks for sharing and doing the research on these. They are lovely. It is the same with sewing patterns; sometimes a new release goes viral when there are others that quietly offer a better option. The power of "fan base" is incredible, isn't it? Size inclusivity has been on the sewing community radar for years, and I am happy to say the movement has (for the most part) won. Thank you for championing this for knitting patterns, it is much appreciated! You are, indeed, a vibe!
Yes! I think it’s also good for my own making to see more styles and designers. As much as I love the Scandinavian design aesthetic, I don’t know what I’ll like if I don’t see it!
Thank you so much for this video! I have a ton of garments on my to knit list, but I've been yearning for something more summery. As a plus size person (56" bust, oy), it can be so frustrating to see gorgeous knits that aren't in my size. Not that I begrudge anyone for knitting what they want- your Vegas Top is super cute! But I really appreciate your effort to search Ravelry to share summery size inclusive knits, and you using your platform to give them some love. I've saved a couple and found at least one that I'm going to get to this summer!
I love this! I'm new to knitting (been crocheting FOREVER), but I thought it was odd that all the influencers always seem to be knitting the same patterns.
Thank you! I too am guilty of the Instagram trap but get lost down the rabbit hole of Ravelry so really appreciated this. Carry on the good work! I'm vibing with you :)
Love it and I am pretty sure your mother is so proud of you. I love to knit but not that well hahaha I know I wasted a lot of yarn but it's okay that's why we have content like this. Thank you so much.
I have been getting ready to buy some yarn for a summer tee project, so this video could NOT have been more perfectly timed. There were a few that definitely made the list. I also love the idea of purchasing patterns from lesser known designers, so that's a huge bonus! Thanks for the awesome video! 🥰
thanks for thinking of size inclusivity when making this list! im new to sewing and would like to try some summer tops. I will start with a few on your list!
This was a great episode! I only recently found your podcast and am really enjoying it. I've added most of these patterns you've reviewed to my summer knitting queue! Looking forward to future episodes 😊❤
My first time watching your podcast and it was awesome! You offer great details on the patterns that you presented. Thank you for that. I am now a subscriber to your channel.
Watching this while working on my camisole no5 which I was so influenced to knit by seeing it on Instagram 😆 it's such a great pattern but I definitely want to share the love to less prominent designs! this is such a great video!
This is such a great video idea, I would love to see more like it! The Nomad tee has been in my queue for ages, since before I learned how to knit. Most of these designs are new to me and I like them a lot. I’d like to recommend patterns by Marie Amelie Designs, so many beautiful, size inclusive patterns and most of them are free!
Thank you! I spend a lot of time looking through patterns. So, seeing some patterns that are new to me is very helpful. Have you knit any of the patterns you talked about in this video? If not are there any that you plan to knit in the next year or so.
I haven’t knit any of them yet, but I’m certainly interested in potentially knitting any and all of them in the future! I especially like the desert bloom and bathers for myself!
Hi! Thanks for the video! It's 8 months later now and I wondered if in the meantime you have knit anything from these designers? Or from the designers you highlighted in the other videos in this series? Thanks!
This is a great question! One of my goals with these videos are to share patterns that I like and appreciate but may not necessarily knit. That said, I am starting to branch out and knit from more designers than I have previously.
What a great reminder to look at all the patterns in your search, not just the most popular. Thanks! On another note, I think by now, everyone, designers included, get the whole "size inclusive" thing. We get it, every knitting pod caster says it. It's starting to sound like pandering.
Hi Kathi! Thanks for your constructive feedback on the episode. Unfortunately I’ve seen some prominent designers still releasing patterns with limited sizing. It’s never my intention to virtue signal, but I do plan to continue referencing size ranges when I discuss patterns in the future.
Hi Nancy! If you open the description box (may be located in different places depending on your device) I have linked to the Ravelry page for all the patterns. If Ravelry doesn’t work for you, you can email me at highfiberknits@gmail.com and I can help you find an alternative way to get the pattern :)
I’m interested in the topic and plan to knit a summer too soon. But, just a suggestion, your podcast would be easier to watch if you didn’t adjust your hair so much while “on the air”.
I might be a bit biased but @lilykatemakes8358 designs the best summer garments!! The shaping and the thoughts behind her designs are just wonderful ❤️ Thank you for your video! 🙌🏼
I love that you carefully selected tops for us and that you expanded our options beyond what is trending and popular. 👏
Thank you SO much! I am really tired of seeing the same 5 designers. They may be good designers but there are so many others that are good or great that we never hear about. Please do more videos about this each season!
I’d love to make this a seasonal thing! It was so much fun 🤩
I love that you're highlighting patterns less than 100 projects. I find that I naturally gravitate towards patterns that end up not getting so much love. Thank you.

Thank you for alternative patterns-very refreshing! I love the variety.
I love your take on finding lesser known designers. The tops you share are very fashionable! Thank you!
I’m so happy you found value in the video!

Hi Marina! I’m so glad you found value in the video 😄 please do follow up and let me know what you end up knitting this summer!
I love this! I'm new to knitting (been crocheting FOREVER), but I thought it was odd that all the influencers always seem to be knitting the same patterns.
so basically I NEED that desert bloom top. do I have sport in my stash? nope. but goodness that top is calling me!
Thank you! I too am guilty of the Instagram trap but get lost down the rabbit hole of Ravelry so really appreciated this. Carry on the good work! I'm vibing with you :)
Love it and I am pretty sure your mother is so proud of you. I love to knit but not that well hahaha I know I wasted a lot of yarn but it's okay that's why we have content like this. Thank you so much.
Great video! I love seeing different patterns and you've definitely given me some new ideas!
I also bought the Vegas pattern because you mentioned it! Love that it’s a little higher coverage than some of the popular camis/tanks.
That’s great to hear!
I love these pattern round-ups. I discovered 4 new designers and have added to my ravelry queue. Thanks!
okokokok this was just what i needed to feel inspired again
Time to cast on, girl!
Loved this video! THanks for sharing

I’m so happy you liked the video! I’m convinced planning knits and yarn purchases is as much as hobby as knitting itself!
thanks for thinking of size inclusivity when making this list! im new to sewing and would like to try some summer tops. I will start with a few on your list!
Great video, great recs!!!!!
What a wonderful episode! Thank you for curating this lesser-known list of awesomeness! Sincerely, TheKnittyStew (podcast)
Some of these are on my queue and some of these will definitely be added!! Loved your picks and thank you for mentioning size inclusivity! ❤
Thank you for this video, these patterns are great!
This was a great episode! I only recently found your podcast and am really enjoying it. I've added most of these patterns you've reviewed to my summer knitting queue! Looking forward to future episodes 😊❤
I’m so happy you’re enjoying the videos! Lots more spring / summer knitting coming your way 🥰
Thank you this was very inspiring. I appreciate the effort put in to this and the information shared.
I’ve had the nomad tee in my favorites! I think it’s so pretty 🤩 if only we had time to knit all the things!
My first time watching your podcast and it was awesome! You offer great details on the patterns that you presented. Thank you for that. I am now a subscriber to your channel.
Omg great video Emily!!! its such a good resource, very useful.
Yay! I’m glad you like the patterns :)

great finds - thx!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you ! 👏🏻
Can't knit. Just started using knitting looms. Would love more content on those as they feel more accessible.
Thank you!

@@highfiberknits nice! Thanks for your honest answer.
