I’m going to be completely honest, I wasn’t going to publish this pattern. It is way too close to other patterns for my comfort zone, but I kept getting requests for it. So here is my gift to you. It hasn’t been tested, it’s not perfect. But it’s a starting point for you. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.
