Short sleeve tops that actually look good on bigger bodies?

I've been knitting for almost two years. I've made a million hats, scarves, and a few blankets but only one sweater, so I'm new enough to shaping that I don't feel comfortable just doing the math and freestyling just yet.

When I browse Ravelry, it feels like 90% of patterns are boxy, straight shapes written for/by very slim women. Of course I look into projects and try to find different body types, but I'm looking for patterns that right from the jump look good on curvier bodies. I'm a 34G with big hips; anything boxy makes me look like an enormous blob.

Does anyone have some go-to patterns with shaping that look better on larger, curvy bodies?

Fair isle knowledge required 😻

Hi! I’m looking to reconstruct a very beautiful fair isle sweater I’ve seen pictures of. I’m looking for someone that can help me find the charts for the bands of motifs. I’m not very familiar with fair isle charts and their history and I know there must be people that know a lot about it! I am an experienced knitter though so I can construct the sweater easily. Hoping someone can look at the photos and recognise certain motifs and help me build my own pattern to recreate the sweater 😊 the motifs are probably from around 1920-1930.

Knitting pattern needed

Guys I’m in love with this cardigan 19 from babaa in this very color. I know there are many dupes for babaa sweaters but of more popular styles. I’ve been trying to find a pattern for this one, not just resembling but actually based on this one. I know it’s a long shot but is there one?

Looking for a sweater pattern with this specific yarn. Ravelry failed me, or maybe I failed using it.

My partner brought back some Aran Wool from Ireland for me to knit him a sweater (preferably with cables, but at this point whatever meets gauge). I just can't find a pattern that I can meet gauge with, I tried searching for either Aran weight patterns on Ravelry, or even for projects made with this specific yarn - and for whatever reason I do not hit gauge while using the needle size provided by the pattern.

Would be grateful for any recommendations.

Patterns for Men’s Cardigan

Ravelry has been uninspiring and I have had a hard time finding examples online - what are peoples tried and true men’s cardigan patterns? It’s at the top of my husband’s wish list for our anniversary / Christmas. I looked at petite knit’s agnete cardigan but feel apprehensive about a whole cardigan worth of brioche. Any suggestions?

Modern takes on cabelling

I really love the style of cables on the Drift jacket by Rows, does anyone know of similar patterns with more angular, modern style use of cables? Interested in jumpers or vests, but happy to see any other garments. Thanks!

Iso similar poncho/cape pattern

The link to the pattern for this is broken. I've searched Lang yarns website for it also and it doesn't seem to exist anymore. I believe it to be discontinued. But I'm in LOVE. Does anyone know of any alternatives? What I really love is the collar, the arm slits, and the asymmetrical joining at the shoulders. I assume it wouldnt be too hard to reverse engineer but I'd rather not deal with the headache of that. I wish to use drops air for this.

Sézane scarf pattern

I was wondering if anyone has any patterns to dupe this scarf from Sézane? It looks like a fairly simple pointelle but I’m having trouble finding a pattern that matches the shape!

Looking for a oversized sweater with deep v-neck

Anyone who has a pattern in mind? Adding a photo here for inspiration (The Row). I'm an intermediate knitter, but don't have much experience with altering existing patterns.
