Choose What You Pay:

In order to price my designs in a manner that maintains both financial accessibility and fair pricing, I now offer a “Choose What You Pay” model. This model allows the buyer to pay what they are able while valuing my labor and that of other designers by providing a “true” and sustainable price for the product. The price as listed reflects what I believe is fair for the work I have put into the design. Sliding scale pricing (use codes in bold at checkout):

DESCRIPTION
The Braided Blanket knitting pattern features luscious cables in the center and at the four corners.
It is large enough to lay on the bottom of a bed or the back of a couch always having it handy when every your baby needs to get cozy.

The center of the blanket has a diamond-shaped braid pattern, flanked by a big diamond, knit in stockinette stitches. It is finished with four triangle-shaped cables running up each end and a garter stitch border.
This blanket is knitted from the bottom up, worked flat (back and forth), the pattern has chart only. It requires a bit more concentration to work up, but the final result will be incredibly worth it.
