I know these patterns have been a dime a dozen lately, and although there are many nice ones out there I couldn’t find any that were quite what I wanted. The way I designed this one should provide it with limited stretch thanks to the starting chain supporting the middle of the piece. Also the larger buttons help secure the piece for use through a long period of movement with less stress.

I have been making these up like a storm for many healthcare worker friends, essential worker friends, as well as many elderly friends and family, and really anyone else. I have gotten a lot of great feedback on how these are holding up to their constant use and will update as needed if given any other feedback.

This pattern is totally free to download, I only ask that you do not remove my copyright or credits and please do not share it as your own.

In times like these it is important that we all come together to help each other survive both physically and mentally. That being said I am requesting you do not sell any finished product from this pattern, but instead give it away to those who need them. Stay safe everyone!
