Time for a “freebie” knitting pattern…….

I was really busy with so many things  last winter and then I picked up the knitting needles, started cross stitching and quilting bits and bobs. 

This is one of many I designed and will be donating this winter.

This is the first one I’m offering to all of you.  (More will be coming)  It took three tries but I love this one.  They are child sized unless you are a particularly short person.  Which I am.


This is the pattern.  Please remember this is copyright and you do not have my permission to share it.  You are more than welcome to knit it up and donate the scarf and hat to charity be it a church bazaar, a hat/mitten/scarf drive.  


This will take you to the pattern outside the blog.  You must download and then you can print it off.

I order all my yarn from Mary Maxim in Paris, Ontario.  Someone on social media posted that they had moved everything to the United States which is very wrong!  They are still Canadian owned and still at their location in Paris, Ontario.
