A new base motif for Quince

A few of you have mentioned that the base (body) motif as currently written in the Quince pattern is a bit tricky, requiring a lot of concentration, so I decided to re-design the base motif as an extra option, interchangeable with the current design. I’m really happy with the look of it-and most importantly, it keeps the big-scale look, as well as being rhythmic and easy-to-follow whilst knitting. You can download the chart for free below (chart is for circular knitters). It uses the same number of stitches in the repeat, so it will work perfectly well with all the instructions in the pattern.

The original swatch and the new, easier motif for more rhythmic knitting.

Now all I need to do is make a new sample using the new motif. If any of you do it before me, please let me know!
