This delightful knitting pattern was a featured part of the Barking Dog Yarns Sock Club in 2012, specifically released for the June shipment of that year. Now that the one-year exclusivity period has expired, it is available to all knitters who are eager to explore this unique design.

VAT Update January 1, 2015

As a member of the vibrant Ravelry community, I, like many designers, have been impacted by the changes to VAT laws implemented in the EU starting on January 1st, 2015. Here’s a brief overview of the situation, taken directly from discussions among sellers:
“Beginning January 1st, 2015, new tax regulations have been introduced that affect digital goods and services sold to customers within the European Union (EU). Whenever a customer from an EU member country purchases a PDF or any digital product, VAT (Value Added Tax) will be applicable based on the country of residence of the buyer. This tax varies by country but generally averages around 21%.”

This adjustment poses significant challenges for microbusinesses like mine. It complicates matters for small sellers who might only make a handful of sales each year. The additional workload and responsibility of managing VAT compliance can be overwhelming, particularly for independent designers focused on creating beautiful knitting patterns rather than navigating tax laws.

Despite these challenges, we remain dedicated to providing high-quality knitting patterns, both free and paid, to our wonderful crafting community. We hope you enjoy knitting with this pattern and that it adds joy and creativity to your knitting project collection!
