A free knitting pattern from ash alberg. From the Ravelry notes:
the next period of american/global history is not going to be easy, to say the least. i wanted to figure out some way to help, something that wouldn’t feel like i was taking advantage of a terrible situation to push sales.
knitting is my therapy. it’s also my business, and many of you know i rarely offer free patterns. i offer this pattern for anyone who needs some knitting therapy though – please feel free to use it for yourself, or to teach a class, or to make cozy toques for activists on the front lines (like the water protectors at standing rock).
in lieu of payment, i ask that you consider donating money if you are able to a charity instead that is doing work to help those most affected – immigrants, queers, bipoc, climate change warriors, women. it will come as no surprise when those groups start to see their funding slashed, and our community support for them will matter even more than it does now.
