LIONHEART - by Shannon Cook and Jane Richmond

This pattern was part of the charity ebook Heart on My Sleeve: knit with care.

Purchase of Heart on My Sleeve ebooks, ($16.80 of the $18 USD purchase price) went to the Against Malaria Foundation (the other $1.20 is made up of Paypal and Ravelry fees.). Thank you so much for all of your generous donations!

The patterns from Heart on My Sleeve are now available for purchase individually!

Jane and Shannon not only design together, but they are also the best of friends. They put their two heads and hearts together to create this casual hoodie.

Lionheart is perfect for throwing on over anything and heading out for a beach adventure, or brunch with friends.
