Looking for a big man's sweater pattern

[sharkie]

I'm looking for a pattern for a big guy (at least a XXL). I'd prefer something simple and crochet, not knit. Anyone know where I can find one? :think

If you have measurements you can make almost any wearable (even from a pattern by using the gauge given and doing swatches.) I have spent alot of time and energy trying to locate patterns for men. I do have a pattern book some generous ville member gifted to me with large sizes, but unfortunately I am still using it, as I know it is rare.
This site gives some basic man measurements (http://http://www.llbean.com/shop/guidePages/guideSizes/mens/measure_mens_inches.html).
I haven't found any specifically for an XXL. Most patterns are a range of sizes. XL is the largest free one I have located so far (46"-48" chest).
Lion Brand (http://http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/70488AD.html)sells a pull over you can purchase that goes up to XXL. you can purchase either the kit or the pattern.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks Donna, I love Raglans, so much easier than fitted sleeves.
