I had a couple of requests for a different version of the first free pattern so here it is. It’s a bit bigger (cos big is beautiful) and the colors are just black and white. As always, if you have any feedback about free patterns I’d love to hear it. Do you like them? How are you using them? What kind of free patterns would you like to see in the future?
