Description:

This pattern was written to be both a math joke, and a special date. Valentine’s Day, the 14th, 28 Days in the month of February. Minus Leap Years. The size is best for a bunting or coaster pattern. You could even choose to use it for an applique, or other decor like ornaments, just leave a longer tail if you need to sew into something else or need a hanger. If you watch your stitches you will see both the math, the special date, and amount of days of the month unfold.
