Pay What Works: Aiming to balance fair and sustainable designer compensation & a realistic representation of the work that goes into knitwear design and accessibility, we’re offering a Pay What Works model with this pattern where you can choose a price that is accessible to you.

The full pattern price as shown on the right reflects the work that went into creating this design best. If a different price point is more accessible to you, you can use the following codes to purchase this pattern at a price that works for you (a Pay What Works implementation that, to my knowledge, was first initiated by Frenchie, thanks so much for the inspiration!):

This pattern is available as part of our digital collection Making Stories & Friends Winter 2018.

Baseline, Verena‘s second contribution to Making Stories & Friends Winter 2018, was inspired by the wish to design a pullover that could serve as as a trusted companion, a stable part of your wardrobe that works well with all fit and style preferences.

Two-coloured stripes are set off by wide bands of ribbing at the cuffs and hem, and a corresponding neckline that sits just a tiny bit wider than a crewneck.

The Fibre Co.‘s Arranmore Light that we used for this design lets the fabric drape beautifully, and with their striking range of colours, we‘re sure you‘re going to find a combination that‘ll make knitting Baseline an absolute joy.
