Knitting Fun July

 Hi everyone 

It is a new month and we start it with a FREE pattern.  Have fun making this one. Let me know what you think of it. Do you have any suggestions for a pattern for August? Put it in the comments so I can see what it is. 

Even though this is a free pattern I do ask that you do not share it. You may share the web link to this blog so whoever wants to make it can get their own. The views are the only thing that help me. 

Okay back to the pattern
