This wall hanging is the first in a series I’ll be releasing in tribute to those suffering from/affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These pieces feature the colors of the Italian flag in recognition of the nation that has faced the largest number of deaths from this outbreak, but please feel free to make one in the colors of your own country as well!

To support makers worldwide in quarantine or stuck at home, all of these patterns will be completely FREE. However, I do ask that in lieu of the several dollars you might spend on a pattern like this, if you have the means to do so, please instead make a donation of this amount to your nation’s healthcare workers or related organizations in support of the fight against COVID-19.

This pattern contains step-by-step instructions to create your own Coronavirus Tributary Wall Hanging, complete with fringe and instructions for hanging and dowel insertion. Available in English only.

~70 yds each worsted weight red, white, and green yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Red, White, and Paddy Green) or preferred colors, worked double-stranded
