The Community Pattern Fund is a project that helps folks who wouldn’t usually be able to afford them have access to Woolly Wormhead patterns, books and workshops.
Forever-free patterns in conveniently bundled eBooks, including relevant tutorials, are offered at varying price points. By purchasing these options folks are paying it forward.
The free or heavily discounted patterns are offered through the newsletter that goes out to members of The Woolly Hat Society and folks who wish to benefit from this initiative are advised to join.
Editors - please do not remove this source. I get a lot of comments and emails about the prices of the patterns included in this initiative and this source explains the purpose. The source also provides a link for folks looking to help and pay it forward.
