Thank you for taking interest into my opossom pattern. This is my first ever pattern to write and to truly read.
Update April 5th 2022:
This is still my only pattern and more of a guide based on how my thought process is. I never was truly educated on patterns, and most of the time I will buy a pattern to give credit to the creator.
I than make it loosy based on how their pattern is. If you dont want a free pattern there are multiple other crafters I have highly praised for making their version. They do have a small fee but their pattern is amazing. No issues. Once agian this is FREE

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments. Sorry I was unable to message everyone back I very rarely make it to this website because of crafting, work, and family. Have a wonderful day.
