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!):
No code: 14€ (100%)
Sustainablist80: 11.20€ (80%)
Sustainablist60: 8.40€ (60%)
Sustainablist50: 7€ (50%)
Sustainablist40: 5.60€ (40%)
Please note that depending on your location VAT will be added when you check out.
