Pay what works

Knitting is not only a creative and relaxing occupation, in times as these it also is invaluable as a sort of therapy, an opportunity to make enriching encounters and come together with other knitters. Last but not least, it’s a wonderful way to make your own sustainable wardrobe.
In order to make my knitting patterns accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation, I now offer a “Pay What Works” scheme. This way, you choose the amount that you feel is accessible for you and use the corresponding coupon code at checkout. The price indicated above is the full price and no coupon code is needed to purchase the pattern at this price. Below are listed two coupon codes with their corresponding final price.

Description

The Cotton candy sleeveless top is a very simple yet stylish V-neck top that fits in every essential wardrobe and is a basic pattern, that, thanks to its simplicity, is especially suitable for beginners. It is knit from the bottom up in the round, with regular decreases all the way up until the armhole to create an A-Line shaping.
From that point on, the front and back are worked separately, and, in a second step, each shoulder is worked separately. The fit is rather large around the waist, with a 10 cm / 4“ ease around the hip circumference. You can choose to knit it with one single colour, with three shades of a colour like shown in the model above, or combining three completely different colours, it’s all up to you!
