For “Woolinale”, Germanys first international yarnbombing festival 2023 in Cologne, I’ve written this pattern.

By crocheting one or multiple peace symbols you can be part of Woolinale’s community project: We hope to get as many of these crocheted (or knitted) peace symbols to present them in public during Woolinale Cologne in march 2023 as a strong sign that peace is something our world needs the most, especially now.

Find out more about Woolinale and the peace project online: www.woolinale.de. You find the pattern, both for crochet and knitting, and also a video tutorial to follow along. And you also find the adress where to send your peace signs if you want them to be a part of Woolinales community project.

As you only need a few basic stitches, this project is suitable for both crochet/knittiung beginners and pros. You only need a few inches of yarn - any yarn, any size. Crocheters and knitters can use scraps as well. Size and gauge are not an issue here - pick whatever yarn you like or have at hand.

As one of the three volunteer organizers of Woolinale Cologne 2023 I’d be happy to have you as a part of our community project, sending a sign of peace to the world.
