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 Lavender cardigan is a simple raglan pattern, which is worked separately, bottom-up, then combined at the armholes. The delicate Daisy Pattern is worked throughout the pattern, and is rounded off by a twisted 1x2 rib along all edges of the cardigan. The yarn used is a mix of mohair, nettle fiber and wool, which results in both a warm and soft cardigan, perfect for chilly summer nights or mid-season wear. If you opt for a different yarn combination, make sure it allows the Daisy Pattern to stand out nicely and well defined.
