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!):

PATTERN NOTES
Like other patterns from our More Than A Basic series, our Snowflakes pattern is designed to offer you plenty of options and comes with instructions for different gauges.

We included instructions for four sizes and seven yarn-weight specific versions for each size as well as various brim and bind-off options, so you can use whatever yarn weight you’re most comfortable with and make exactly the hat you’d love to wear. In addition, the pattern comes with lots of helpful information, e.g. on choosing the right size and on gauge.
