    Size inclusivity - Like people, patterns come in lots of different size ranges. We know how frustrating it can be to navigate pattern choices when many of them are inaccessible.
    Therefore, to help make your life easier we have included the Hip > 50” tag to easily indicate which designs are more size inclusive. Browse the full Hip > 50” range.
