CHARITY

The premium pdf version of this pattern is available for free from Ravelry for the forseeable future to spread as much joy as possible during the current crisis. However, if you could spare a little change I would really appreciate it if you could donate a little to a charity supporting the coronavirus response! If you’d like me to donate on your response you can pay for this pattern via my Etsy store.

ROWENA THE RAINBOW

Rowena is the happiest little rainbow you will ever see! Even the current rules around social isolation and Covid-19 don’t seem to have phased her. In fact, her favourite activity is hanging in the window and smiling at the postie as he walks past delivering happy post to all your friends and neighbours!
