Pay What Works
In an effort to find a balance between financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, all of my patterns are offered on a “Pay What Works” scale. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy it took to publish this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the time, investment, and creativity of this design. If needed, you can purchase the pattern at a more accessible price point by using one of the coupon codes below at checkout. The prices indicate the amount you will pay, not the discount amount. No coupon code is needed for the highest price point.

About the Pattern
Chasing Rivers was inspired by a picture of the Colorado River Delta, which no longer reaches the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, but branches out into the desert. This shawl uses unique increases to create branching cables much as the channels of the river delta reach out searching for the sea. You’ll find that while there are many cable stitches, the pattern is repetitive, easy to memorize, and an enjoyable knit. The size of the shawl can easily be made smaller or larger depending on your preference.
