In an effort to balance financial affordability with fair, sustainable pricing, I have adopted a Pay What Works pricing model. This allows you to pay what you are able while valuing all of the work that goes into making each pattern. The price listed reflects what I believe to be the true value of the pattern and the work of all those that make the pattern possible.

The Alluvium Shawl was inspired by the idea of the seashore as the place where two worlds meet. It uses brioche increases and decreases to mirror the crashing ocean waves, then has the branched delta in brioche on a two-colour garter stitch background.


It’s generous size and asymmetrical triangular shape make Alluvium to an extra-comfy and super wearable shawl.
