Project Description
The chosen designer(s) will:
-
create unique, 1-2 skein pattern(s) specifically for one of the Flock yarns including written and charted instructions, using a personal template or the knittingthestash template
-
provide a draft of the pattern(s) to Melissa for tech editing
-
host a test knit for the patterns via the knittingthestash Ravelry group
-
provide a final PDF to be sold on knittingthestash.com with Flock kits
-
provide basic pattern support for one month after the pattern’s release via the knittingthestash Ravelry group
Compensation
The chosen designer(s) will:
-
receive yarn support for their pattern development
-
receive 100% of the proceeds for patterns sold with a kit. Price per pattern to be determined collaboratively (~$5 for mitts/hats; ~$8 for shawls, scarves, and socks). Note, these are small-scale yarn batches, often with fewer than 100 skeins of yarn available for sale; yarn will be available for purchase with or without kits.
-
have their work promoted on the knittingthestash blog, podcast, and instagram
-
retain the right to sell their pattern(s) independently, with a time delay of one month from each Flock kit launch
Timeline is flexible, and depends on yarn availability. Ideally, we’d move from yarn to final PDF within 3-4 months.
Application
Please provide the following materials to Melissa via email: knittingthestash@gmail.com
-
a sample pattern for a new design OR an older, but representative design OR an idea for a design
-

There is no deadline; I will be accepting design applications on a rolling basis.
