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 Simple Stripes sweater is a yoke pattern fitting for beginners. It is worked from the top down, with several increases throughout the yoke. Once you reach the armhole, body and sleeves are split and worked separately. Whereas the body is knit with the two contrasting colours in bold stripes, you will make much smaller stripes when you work the sleeves, thus creating a little accent. The yarn used in this pattern, a very soft wool – cotton blend, will make the Simple Stripes sweater a very comfortable garment for every day wear.
