First of all, how are you?
Are you doing okay?
COVID-19 has really thrown our world through a loop hasn't it?
Crochet has helped me get through some pretty tough and stressful shit (figuratively, and probably literally haha), so we decided to bring you this free pattern along with a free Beginning Crochet Class which you can find on our YouTube channel.
We hope that you can find something everyday that sparks joy, and maybe one of those things can be crocheting. Tag us on social media @erieliknits with your works in progress and let us know what you did today to spark joy!
