GARMENTS:
We require all garments to be sized from XS to 5X for women's designs and S to 5X for men's, following the appropriate Craft Yarn Council chart. Note that there are separate charts for women, men and children. The CYC charts provide a general overview for things like bust size and body length. Patterns must be graded to this Knitty size range by the designer before submission.

Please pay particular attention to fit as you grade the sizes upwards, and note any possible pattern adjustment recommendations such as bust darts, waist shaping, length, in the Pattern Notes section.

Are you new to grading patterns? Read the very helpful comments on Knitty's Instagram post about how people learned this essential skill. Resources mentioned (in alphabetical order):

SOCKS:

• This table is a helpful resource
  • For socks to fit adults, please create 3 to 5 sizes, to fit feet between 8 and 11 inches in circumference.
  • For socks to fit adult women, 3 sizes to fit feet between 8 and 10.5 inches in circumference
  • For socks to fit adult men, 3 sizes to fit feet between 9 and 11 inches in circumference.

Note: foot circumference refers to measuring around the ball of the foot.
