So hard to find pattern creators who use thin yarn and small needles
So I am really frustrated because I can't find any pattern creators besides petitekint (and even her patterns usually use too thick yarn and big needles for my taste) who make patterns for needle size 2mm - 3mm and use thin yarn.
For example for my next pattern I want to make a sweater with 8/2 100g is 400m wool yarn from local wool factory + drops silk mohair, but can't find any basic oversized sweater patterns for this. From what I've researched, the patterns made for thin yarn are usually for blouses but not for sweaters
Actually at first I wanted to make a sweater with just the 8/2 100g is 400m yarn but finding a pattern for that was even more impossible and that's why I have decided to add the mohair.
I'm used to knitting with small needles because in my country for example socks are traditionally knitted with 8/2 yarn and 1.5mm needles. Going up to 3mm is already a big step for me. Sadly basically all the patterns use needles 4mm and up and really thick yarn...
I want the sweater to be really lightweight and thats also one of the reasons I don't want to use bulky yarn and needles.
Can you reccommend some creators who specifically make patterns for small needles?
