Thebe has the look of a top-down triangular shawlette worn with the point in front, kerchief style, but the fact that it’s a loop prevents it from slipping off. I love this style for cycling or walking on our windy beaches.

The ribbing at the top is worked first, in the round, then the “shawl” portion is worked back and forth beginning with a few stitches. Yarnovers at the edges and centre create a triangle shape. Decreases are worked at the end of each row to join the triangle portion to the ribbed band. When all of the ribbing stitches have been consumed, the cowl continues in the round with a fun smocked chevron pattern followed by an effective geometric lace edging featuring little textured knots. The edge blocks out into sharp points.

This was inspired by recent conversations amongst designers and knitters, about inclusion and sustainability. We were particularly inspired by Francoise Danoy who has introduced pay what works pricing on her gorgeous new WhakahoahoaShawl.
We want the knitting community to be inclusive of knitters of all income levels and recognise that the cost of patterns and other materials excludes many people in both practical and social ways. At the same time, while I’ve chosen to build a business that doesn’t rely solely on pattern design income, we want it to be possible for designers to be fairly compensated for their work. We don’t want to communicate that patterns aren’t worth AT LEAST the current standard prices, if not more. We don’t know if this is the answer to finding balance between those two desires, but we thought it was worth trying and welcome your feedback.
How does it work?That part is easy, just choose the price that works for you and check out as normal. Is this available on Ravelry? No, but you will be able to add your pattern to Ravelry after checkout. We’re not offering this via Ravelry because we’d have to do more manual processing. This may be available in the future.
