This is a FREE pattern in the hopes you will choose a Fingering weight yarn from a vendor or small business that has been affected by the 2020 Coronavirus outbreak. The impact of this extraordinary time, the cancellations and shutdowns of fiber festivals, shows and pop-ups, retail brick-and-mortar, has been devastating. If we can help these businesses, get some knit-therapy out of it, and look good sporting our handmade knits, then it’s a win win for everyone!
