Okay first things first (for the people wondering)
This pattern is in fact a free pattern, UNLESS you intend to use it to sell.
I am currently selling this pattern on my ravelry account as well as my etsy for that purpose!
(you can find both links on my side bar over there ----------> )
I will be making youtube videos for this pattern in the next week, so if you would like to participate in the crochet-a-long feel free to do so!
